You can get to know Génissieux during a stay focused on specific cultural and natural attractions: Saint-Pierre Church, the Les Coteaux de Génissieux hiking trail and a natural area on the hillsides. There is also a weekly market every Sunday throughout the year. These attractions offer different ways to plan your trip—from architectural history and hiking to a morning visit to the market.

Saint-Pierre Church: architectural history and stained-glass windows

Saint-Pierre Church was built in the 1850s. A striking bell tower porch was added in 1893. This gives you a timeline for the building’s history: the church dates back to the mid-19th century, and the porch was added later.

The church has eight stained-glass windows dating from three different periods between 1887 and 1894. The windows were therefore not all made during the same period. The bell tower porch added in 1893 also dates from this timeframe, so the building’s history and the windows’ chronology can be considered using different, partly overlapping dates.

Hiking in Génissieux

Les Coteaux de Génissieux is the municipality’s named hiking trail. In the Agglo’s hiking program for September 2025, it was one of 16 selected trails out of the 47 hiking trails marked and maintained by the Agglo. This provides a specific point of reference when comparing local hiking options.

Les Coteaux has a total elevation gain of 300 metres. The hiking trail in the municipality of Génissieux is open. When planning your route, you can use the total ascent as a point of reference and consider it alongside the kind of outing you would like to take. The program selection describes the trail’s place among the Agglo’s hiking routes; the 300 metres, meanwhile, refers to the total ascent—two different criteria for planning your route.

A Zone naturelle d’intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) is located on the hillsides of Génissieux. The French name describes an area of ecological, faunal and floristic interest, adding a distinct aspect of the landscape to the hiking information.

Sunday market in Génissieux

The weekly market takes place every Sunday throughout the year, from 8 a.m. to noon. You can take this morning time slot into account when planning a Sunday in Génissieux. If you are planning your trip specifically around the market, check the schedule in advance.
