Bibost brings together cultural history, outdoor activities and insights into agriculture. The Chapelle Saint-Roch, a walk with a view of a viaduct and two farms offer different highlights; there is also a mountain biking loop, a fun trail for children, and a market and restaurant featuring local or regional produce. When looking for a holiday rental in Bibost, you could first consider whether you want your stay to focus on history, active trails, farm activities or culinary discoveries.

Cultural history and trails

The Chapelle Saint-Roch was built in 1630 in the Beaujolais style, using golden stone from the Glay quarry. In 2026, access is limited to the exterior; a visit to the interior can be arranged on request through the town hall. If seeing the interior is important to you, make your request in advance.

The Église Saint-Irénée is one of the monuments featured in the materials for the cultural trail around Bibost and Saint-Julien-sur-Bibost.

The walk “Le petit tour qui vaut le détour” offers a view of the Viaduc du Penon. It is a remnant of an unfinished railway line that was intended to connect L’Arbresle and Panissières. The mountain biking loop 71 – Saint-Roch offers a different focus: discovering varied landscapes at the foot of cherry orchards. The trails therefore have different emphases: one is about a historic railway project, the other about the landscape.

Farm activities and discoveries for children

The farms offer very different activities: Ferme des Molières offers Western riding lessons and courses. Ferme d’Emmanuel, by contrast, is an educational farm where children and adults can learn about an organic dairy operation. The farm also produces cherries and mirabelle plums. Day programmes are offered for schools and leisure centres; families can visit Ferme d’Emmanuel during school holidays, subject to the programme. As programmes and access arrangements may change, check in advance which activities are available on your chosen date. The focus differs: Western riding at one farm, and dairy farming, fruit production and educational activities at the other.

The Gnolus trail is also aimed at children, giving them a fun way to explore Bibost. Alongside the agricultural experience, it offers a second way to discover the village.

Market and regional produce

The market and restaurant offer different culinary highlights. The market in Bibost has a regular presence of local farm producers and a fruit and vegetable seller; other vendors vary. The restaurant La Table de Math works with produce from regional fruit growers, winegrowers, farmers and market gardeners. If you are visiting for specific additional market vendors, bear in mind that they change when planning your visit.
