Tourism, cultural, medieval, industrial, sporting, so many adjectives can describe Mézin. It is primarily a village marked by history. From the medieval to the city Stopper, Mézin offers a rich history to discover through its streets, its magnificent church of St. Jean Baptiste XI / XIV century, listed Historical Monument in 1841, or older factories caps, remains a rich industrial past.
A little history ... First ancient monastic city in the Middle Ages, the city developed a circle around his church and a large monastery now disappeared. She became rich through trade already established at that time. The consuls, nobles and bourgeois priors help to run the city. The houses of stone arches that border on the main square demonstrate their wealth, but the city is experiencing damage during the Wars of Religion and the French Revolution. She quietly revived in the 19th century, thanks to the local gold: the cork. Many companies see the day when they are often family. It should also not miss the Museum of the Cork and cork that covers this period. Mézin is also the hometown of Fallières Armand, President of the Republic from 1906 to 1913, and is also the ideal place to practice outdoor activities, hiking, canoeing, fishing, mountain biking ... and many recreation will be available throughout your stay.
