Journans

The village has managed to preserve the traditional architecture of the winegrowers' houses, with their vaulted cellars and stone stairs. La Reyssouze takes its source at the foot of the forest, offering a haven of freshness to walkers. At the top of the village, orchid meadows are classified Natura 2000.

An art gallery is open on Sundays and public holidays from 2 pm to 7 pm.

The village organizes an artistic walk called Les Journandises every two years. The artists exhibit at the inhabitant, in the house, the courtyard or the garden... Push the door of the exhibition places: you will discover in these authentic places, passionate people. At the corner of a street, you will meet the accordion, a barrel organ, laughter, songs... In the shade of a garden, delicacies are being prepared...
