Pretty long pass on the Tarare side with a constant slope around 5%. Delimits the watershed line between the Rhône and the Loire. Do not hesitate to climb to Mont Boussuivre by extending a few hundred meters and climb to the top of the Matagrin tower to enjoy a magnificent view of the whole region.

Fortified medieval village. You can still see three emblematic fortified towers at the gates of the village: the Magna Porta Tower, the Egg Tower and the Cotton Tower.

This medieval village is located on the edge of the Forez plain. It is a Cluniac site where you can still see beautiful remains, including old ramparts. A real journey through time!

Current textile and tie museum and third place under construction. Located near the old monorail railway line, which was to link Panissières to Feurs, at the request of the textile industries of the time. The place is under renovation and closed until 2023.

Replica of the Monorail locomotive which was to link the towns of Feurs to Panissières at the end of the 19th century. The project was aborted along the way and the railway line rehabilitated as a greenway.

Built in 1876, the tower was topped with a pointed roof. At the time, it served as a hunting meeting place for a local notary, Master Matagrin, then became a drinking establishment and even welcomed dance enthusiasts. A Napoleonic terminal was inserted next to the entrance door with the inscription: "Point trigo Napoléon Empereur Nov 1812".
