Medieval quarter of Bourbon-Lancy

Highlight • Historical Site

In the medieval district of Bourbon-Lancy, where many remarkable houses stand out, the construction is dense, the streets narrow and the protection systems still visible. The city was enclosed by imposing gates and a rampart.

Today, even if the rampart has been integrated into the constructions, its perimeter has remained unchanged and is easily discovered.

Only two of the three access gates remain: the entrance via the belfry, whose drawbridge lifting system is still very visible, and the Éperon gate on the south side with the still visible ruins of its granite arch.

At Diou, the Eurovelo 6 branches off from the Loire side canal and leads over the Loire Bridge of the D 480. From the bridge you have a good block onto the unregulated Loire 👆
