TOWN PRESENTATION

The town owes its name to the Romans: the name of the locality would be derived from Mount or Mount Roman Romans.


SIGHTSEEING
  • The Church:
  • The old church was surrounded by a small cemetery, becoming narrow, a reconstruction project was developed. But residents disagreed, a temporary wooden building covered with straw was constructed. An agreement was finally reached in 1858 and work was completed in 1869. She then underwent repairs from 1937 to 1939 and again in 1949, which are visible in the interior.
  • Behind the church, a little hidden, there is a cross dating from 1538 Gothic. Another cross, opposite the town hall, for its date of 1461.
  • The Roman aqueduct of Brévenne:
  • Lugdunum rapidly developing in Roman times, the storm reserves are insufficient to meet the consumer population. The Romans built aqueducts now four including the Brévenne. It rises and crosses to Aveize of Commons Monts du Lyonnais which Montromant before joining Lyon. The channel, constant slope along its path, and masonry is mostly underground.

  • An area around Rossander, trout stream that feeds the Brévenne was classified as a protected zone in 1982. There are over 48 species of animals like the owl, the shrew or the great tit.
