About Château De Fallavier
Between Lyon and the Alps, in the Isère, the Château de Fallavier is a picturesque ruined castle of the 13th century, once the centre of a feudal lordship guarding the route between the Dauphiné and the Rhône. Rising on a green hill above the surrounding countryside, its ruined keep, towers and walls make an evocative silhouette, and the site, now a peaceful park with a lake, is a pleasant place for walking and enjoying views over the plain. Restored in part and open to visitors, it evokes the medieval past of the region. Historic, picturesque and beautifully set, the Château de Fallavier is an evocative medieval ruin in the green countryside east of Lyon, a rewarding stop for lovers of castles and quiet nature, a fine reminder of the feudal age in a peaceful setting close to the modern city.
