Located in the heart of Dombes, Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, formerly Châtillon-les-Dombes, is a medieval town full of character. Listed among the Most Beautiful Detours in France, it stands out for its preserved medieval heritage and unique architecture. Take the time to stroll through its busy streets and discover its traditional market, which takes place every Saturday morning if you have the opportunity.
