Town hall in Bourg-Saint-Andéol. Great location, with a great forecourt with water feature. Great for kids. The colorful market also takes place there.

"Inspired by the colonnades of ancient temples, this imposing washhouse welcomes today's visitors and yesterday's laundresses. Listed as a historic monument, it remains a witness to the splendor of the 19th century in Bourg-Saint-Andeol. The current washhouse was built in the mid-19th century (1843) according to plans by the bourgeois architect Baussan and replaced the old one, which the municipality found inconvenient at the time." "The small dome in front of the building houses a spring, called the "donkey fountain" because a water channel could be seen there before it was covered by its current cap. The washhouse was listed as a historic monument on September 20, 1946."

"The highest Romanesque church in the Rhone Valley, dedicated to Saint Andéol. Surprising volume and dimensions. The climb to the bell tower is possible by appointment all year round and every day except Sundays in July and August." "This huge church with three naves, dating from the end of the 11th century, is distinguished by the remains of an apse to the west and by the very beautiful dome in cut stone at the crossing of the transept. Inside, there is a beautiful Roman child's tomb which served as the burial place of Saint Andeol, patron saint of the city who, according to tradition, was martyred in 208. This sarcophagus therefore has three Roman faces and a Romanesque face sculptured at the beginning of the 12th century. See also the organs listed as historical monuments"
