TOWN PRESENTATION

The common Sury-le-Comtal is located in the department of the Loire, at the intersection of Plain and Mountains Forez, 20 km northwest of Saint-Etienne and 10km southeast of Montbrison. It is built on a rectangular plate along the river "La Mare". With a rich history found in the remains found dating from the Gallo-Roman.

The village of Sury developed from the 11th century around a medieval castle. In the 11th and 12th century has created a wall demarcating the right. In the 12th century the town expands and grows around the castle in a semi-concentric and is continuing its expansion south into the "new town" and is organized on a regular plan and orthogonal. In the 14th century a second fort was built. In the 19th century a semi-industrial development moved around the axis of movement to the east and south.
