Chavanoz: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The history of Chavanoz includes the former priory, which was founded around the 11th century, and the Moulin Goy, whose origins date back to around 1660 and which was created by Gabriel Goy. Large rings are still attached to the walls of the Moulin Goy; they were once used to moor grain ships. The Bourbre encouraged the establishment of important early activities in Chavanoz, particularly the mills of Asnières and the Moulin Goy.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Chavanoz considers the choice of accommodation to be an independent part of planning their stay.

Culture and history

The Croix RD24 is a wrought-iron cross erected in 1844 at the intersection of the RD24 and Rue Pierre Goy. The Église de Chavanoz contains part of the gravestone of the priest Agapius, who died in 608, and houses a remarkable collection of liturgical objects, including chasubles, patens, ciboria and monstrances. Twelve crosses are distributed throughout Chavanoz; each has its own name and its own history. The round tower of the present-day Château des Panettes, which is now used as the town hall, dates from that period.

Nature and waterways

The Bois des Franchises can be explored via an extensive network of hiking trails created by the municipalities of the canton. The present-day Bois des Franchises is identified with the battlefield. When the Rhône is at a low water level, the posts of the former port of Bouchet are visible.
