Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne is a charming medieval town in eastern France, less than an hour from Lyon. Known for its old streets, half-timbered houses, flower-lined bridges, and peaceful riverside setting, it feels like one of those rare places that stays lively, beautiful, and authentic at the same time.
In this video, we explore Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne during the Spring Fair, one of the most vibrant moments of the year. With more than 100 exhibitors, local products, music, food, and a warm village atmosphere, this event brings extra life to a town that already feels full of character.
Our walk begins under the 15th-century Halles, the symbol of the town, and continues through lively squares, historic corners, the Chalaronne riverside, and some of the most charming parts of the old center. This is a walking tour of a village where heritage, daily life, and local tradition still come together beautifully.
