Camping de la Trillonnière: Discover Mornant's Charms and Attractions

A trail await you for an outing which promises to be both instructive and fun. You will find information on wine trails in the local tourist information offices (leaflet and information boards only in French).

Nature and heritage walk When you return from the hike, take a break in the Parc du Grand Clos, an unsuspected bubble of nature to recharge your batteries at the foot of the trees, read a book, play hide-and-seek, play ball… Before joining the park, stop off in the centre of the village to discover its heritage. Its history is presented on lava plates: —The very beautiful Romanesque-style church listed. It is dedicated to Saint Mayol, 4th abbot of Cluny, founder of the 10th century of the priory of Saint-Pierre de Ternay. —The terraced gardens of the Château de La Porte adorned with a restored nymphaeum and containing a Gallo-Roman sarcophagus from the 2nd century. Hike in the fresh air during the July 14 festivities while prolonging the evening under the stars in the castle grounds. The 16th-century building and the Saint Mayol church serve as the foreground for the fireworks show.

This church (19th century) is the most beautiful monument of the artistic heritage of Brignais. You can notice the bell, the organ, the woodword and the stain-glass windows. This church is the most beautiful monument of the artistic heritage of Brignais. Dedicated to Saint-Clair (590-660), patron saint of the blind and partially sighted persons, its first foundations dated from 1859. It was built on the place of the former feudal church and of the former cemetery. This church was built thanks to public subscriptions and town funds. The architect, Claire Tisseur, born in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon (writer of the "Littré de la Grand'Côte"*, and more famous, in France, under its pseudonym Nizier du Puitspelu.) and the abbot Rival, priest of the parish, presided the building of the monument. Thanks to its architecture and its furnishing, the monument forms a remarkable unity of ogival style of the 13th century, modernized in the 20th century. The woodwork (the pulpit, the confessionals and the stalls of the choir) is realised by sculptor Aubert from Lyon. The bell, dated from 1492, was listed in the "Inventaire des Monuments Historiques", on 27th November 1905. The organ was built by organ makers of the Jura mountains, Hartmann and Deloye, for the Benedictine community of Pradines (near the town of Roanne) in 1972. As it was for sale, the association "Les Amis de l'Orgue de Brignais", helped by the town hall, bought it in 1955. The size of the organ is fairly important (20 timbers). It integrates harmoniously the west transept of the church due to its dimensions. The organ builder, Hervé Clénet (from "Bectave-Aguin" - Gers department) and his assistant Jean Boissonade (from "Séverac l'Eglise" - Aveyron department), restaured the organ. The assembling, after restauration, was made by Jean Boissonade, helped by Maurice Crouzet and Jean-Marie Royet, from Brignais. The stain-glass windows : the five large stained-glass windows of the choir and the eight smaller windows of the lateral chapels were made by Mr Mauvernay, a glass-worker for Saint-Galmier. One of the roses represents the virtues of the Virgin, the other, the virtues of Saint-Clair. The stained-glass windows of the lawer naves represent scenes of Christian life. The designs were made by the abbot Rival. * a famous book encyclopedia with many humorous and picturesque anecdotes, inspired by the true and viviacious spirit of Lyon and its people.

Over the 65 years of its existence, this festival has established itself as the world's biggest event dedicated to animation. It encompasses the Festival and the Marché international du film d'animation, offering a rich programme of screenings, previews, retrospectives, conferences, exhibitions and more. Celebrating creativity and the diversity of styles and techniques (from drawing to virtual reality), the event brings together talent from all over the world. The first fruit of this collaboration will be the visual identity for the 2026 edition of Jazz à Vienne, entrusted to Lucrèce Andreae, a product of the creative pool at the Annecy Festival, where her work was selected in competition and awarded a Special Jury Prize for her graduation film in 2011. Lucrèce then went on to present her animated short, Pépé Le Morse, which won the 2017 Annecy Festival Audience Award. The quality of her work, her ability to explore different artistic forms with brio, her sensitivity and the visual splendour shown in the first images of her next film augur well for the future of the Jazz à Vienne 2026 line-up.
