ATTENTION: Access to the Montjean-sur-Loire panorama is closed until further notice. You will have to go through the town hall parking lot to reach the park. Would you like to plunge into the heart of the 19th century? Discover the heritage and fascinating history of Montjean-sur-Loire on this 3.5 km tour. With friends or family, stroll along the quays of the Loire, admire the Chevalement de la Tranchée overlooking the Loire and observe the lime kilns, relics of the village's 19th-century economic boom. After a stroll through the narrow streets of Montjean, climb up to the church of Saint-Symphorien. From the top, take in the breathtaking views of the Loire River. The vineyards, orchards and slate roofs typical of the region are a wonderful sight to behold from the ancient fortifications of the château du seigneur de Montjean. Along the way, 11 information panels explain the history of the commune. Numerous sculptures line the route, giving the streets and quays the air of an artist's village. On the way, stop off at Cap Loire to learn about the history of the Loire bargemen and the boats: the Cap Vert and the Montjeannaise.
