About
In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, history unfolds in every corner, from the medieval streets of Ambert to the Roman ruins in Vienne. In Ambert, visitors can explore the remnants of the 12th-century Church of Saint-Jean, a testament to the area’s long-standing architectural heritage. Meanwhile, Vienne offers the impressive Temple of Augustus and Livia, where ancient stones whisper tales of the past. The region's commitment to preserving its history is evident in the meticulously restored Château de Roussillon, a striking example of Renaissance architecture surrounded by lush vineyards.
