2 Best Sights in Viviers, Lyon and the Alps

Situated in the old religious quarter high over the town, this 14th-century fortification (built in 1359) provides an exceptional 360-degree panorama over the port, the river, Vivier's rooftops, and the Rhone Valley.

Although this stately 16th-century town house is not open to the public, its exceptional Renaissance façade is a must-see for history and architecture buffs. The building's four tiers, decorated with sculptural friezes, busts, columns, and medallions, are a remarkable example of a Renaissance nobleman's dwelling.
