Discovering Ennezat
Description
This tour takes us to a town that lived through an astonishing duality. Two administrations coexisted: that of Ennezat Le Chastel, around the castle, and that of Villeneuve-d'Ennezat, a walled town with a regular urban plan.
Attractions: - Saint-Victor and Sainte-Couronne d'Ennezat church, its frescoes, half-timbered porch dovecote on stilts, castle fountain with Gallo-Roman remains. Ennezat will hold no more secrets for you.
