If you are looking for a hotel in La Tour-Du-Pin, you can start by choosing the focus of your stay: local history and architecture, contemporary art or a local sweet treat. Three walking tours bring the cultural themes to life in different ways; travel information helps you plan your visit.
Choose a walking tour to suit your interests
The Grand Tour is a 1.5-kilometre walking tour through La Tour-du-Pin. It introduces 14 monuments and explores the city’s history and architecture. This makes it a good thematic starting point if you want to focus on buildings and their historical context.
The Circuit des Fontaines covers 1.8 kilometres through the town centre. Its eight points of interest lie along the water. This focus on water sets the tour apart from the Grand Tour, which centres on monuments and local history.
Art Co focuses on contemporary sculptures: this 2.7-kilometre walking tour features four sculptures in La Tour-du-Pin. The three route lengths range from 1.5 to 1.8 to 2.7 kilometres. Along with each tour’s theme, they can help you weigh up the length and focus of a walk as you plan.
Details of these current walking tours may change, and the presentation of the artworks may also evolve. Check the latest information before setting out.
Monuments and artworks
The Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption features an eclectic architectural style, with Neo-Gothic and Romanesque Revival elements. Here, “eclectic” refers to the combination of different styles. When viewing the church, you can therefore look for more than one architectural tradition.
The Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption is also home to the 1542 triptych of La Tour-du-Pin, which is classified as a Monument historique. Another triptych is by the contemporary painter Arcabas: the work, created in the 21st century, was commissioned by the city.
The Maison des Dauphins adds a historic monument that serves as a venue for cultural events to these cultural highlights. Alongside architecture and artworks, events therefore provide another distinct cultural feature of La Tour-du-Pin.
Le Miron de la Tour
Le Miron de la Tour is a local confection made with nougatine, candied lemon, marzipan and praline, coated in chocolate. Its precisely named ingredients make Miron a specific culinary discovery alongside the city’s art- and history-related attractions.
The “Visite Gourmande” culinary tour lists places where you can sample Miron. As the participating places may change, check which ones are currently included in advance if you are planning a tasting.
