Between the Rhone Valley and Valley Gier, his collar, to 652 meters, opens a panorama of the Alps.

Quality of life of this county (the smallest in terms of people in the urban community of Saint-Etienne Métropole) is the result of an involvement of Pavezinois in their village: a ten associations to be discovered.

Village booming, as evidenced by the newly built school and the regular publications of the municipal team dynamics.

The municipality of Pavezin housed the Carthusian monastery until the start of the Carthusians in 1792 during the revolution. The village of Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez was erected in town in 1888. Many farms and cross recall the presence of monks.

Things to see and do

Traces of the Carthusians and the discrete crosses many will talk the history of this village that played host to the Carthusian monastery of 1276 to 1888.

Its 17th century church, the remains of the castle of Belize, or simply dry-stone walls, wells forgotten, a barn on two levels, mullioned windows ... you remember the life of previous generations.

The sights not to be missed: the cross of the Carthusians at the village entrance and the sculptures of beech near Grange Rouet.

The neck of Pavezin, passage required!

Many walks, three circuits of marked trails accessible from the church square, take you to the heart of beech forests at the foot of small streams or ridges to view. Than pleasure for the eyes!
