Civrieux-d'Azergues offers several distinct reasons to visit: nature along the Balad'Azergues route, local history at two sites and the Conscrits tradition. Le Jardin de Nous Deux also offers a setting of its own, as the private garden is open to the public only by prior appointment. These differences can help you decide which details to plan ahead and which themes will shape your stay.

Le Jardin de Nous Deux: visits by appointment only

The private garden Le Jardin de Nous Deux is located at 51 Chemin de Palayer in Civrieux-d'Azergues. It is open to the public only by prior appointment. A visit should therefore be arranged in advance rather than treated as an activity available spontaneously. The garden can be booked privately for groups and events; advance booking is required for this too.

Group and event offerings may include drinks and/or snacks. This means there are two different reasons to visit: an arranged visit to the garden or a private booking for a group or event. If you would like to include the garden in your travel plans, arranging an appointment is the first practical step.

Balad'Azergues: a nature walk

Balad'Azergues is a walking route open to everyone. The starting point in Civrieux-d'Azergues is at the pond on the right bank. Along the route, visitors can discover the river, its flora and its natural resources. A specific landmark thus opens onto a broader nature theme: the pond marks the starting point, while the river and plant life draw attention to the route's features.

If you are looking for a walk with a focus on nature, Balad'Azergues offers a clear starting point. The route is described as a walking option, and its appeal lies in the combination of the river, flora and natural resources. Starting at the pond also gives the walk a clearly identifiable point of departure in Civrieux-d'Azergues.

The de Sarron family coat of arms at two sites

Two visible coats of arms belonging to the de Sarron family are part of the local history. One can still be seen on the door of the castle's old keep. The other is in the crypt of the village church. The same family motif thus appears in different places: at the old keep and in the church.

Visitors who want to learn about Civrieux-d'Azergues through specific details of its local history can compare these two features. The link between them is the de Sarron family coat of arms, while the locations remain distinct.

The Conscrits tradition and its dates

The Conscrits tradition brings together people born in the same decade to celebrate the turn of the decade. The generations involved change over time, so the group is not always the same. In Civrieux-d'Azergues, the tradition takes several specific forms.

Usually, between February and March, the Conscrits sell brioche loaves on a tour of the village. The timing may vary depending on the weather. A costumed procession also takes place through the village on Friday evening, accompanied by a brass band or a batucada. The brioche sale and the procession offer different glimpses of the tradition: the village tour with its sales, and the evening procession.

For planning purposes, the dates should be distinguished: February to March is the usual period for the brioche sale, but weather-related changes are possible. The exact dates of the Conscrits also vary from year to year. If you would like to plan your trip specifically around this tradition, check the date for the relevant year.
