Trambly: Church, Cultural Trail and Circular Routes

Trambly offers several different highlights for a stay: sacred architecture, a cultural walking trail, circular routes through wooded areas and a leisure complex. A Cloche-Pierres displays minerals and fossils at various locations in the village; the Chemin des 2 versants focuses on exercise and panoramic views. The church adds late Romanesque architecture and a Gothic artwork to the cultural experience.

Cultural Trail and Mineral Collection

A Cloche-Pierres is a cultural walking trail through Trambly. The exhibition of minerals and fossils extends across the village streets and the church. The trail begins at the car park opposite the town hall. A Cloche-Pierres also presents the mineral collection of Père Fargeton, a priest from Trambly who was interested in mineralogy. This cultural highlight therefore brings together both a collection and an exhibition spread across several locations. The church is not only part of the exhibition, but also a destination in its own right for anyone interested in architectural and artistic history.

Late Romanesque Church and Gothic Fresco

Trambly’s church preserves a late Romanesque apse and bell tower. Both have been listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments since 29 October 1926. The bell tower is square in plan and has two storeys divided by Lombard bands; a cylindrical stair tower stands separately. The tower can therefore be described not only by its shape but also by the divisions between its storeys. The church also contains a Gothic stone fresco from the 14th century. It depicts a crowned Virgin with the Christ Child. The late Romanesque features and the later fresco offer two different ways to explore sacred art in Trambly.

Circular Route, Forest and Panoramic Views

The signposted Chemin des 2 versants is a 12.3-kilometre circular route of moderate difficulty. It is suitable for horse riding, hiking and mountain biking, and starts and ends in Trambly. Its length, difficulty and the activities listed provide practical guidance for planning your own outing. The route passes through heavily wooded areas. La Gotale, the Bois de la Vallée, Présentin and the Bois d’Argaud are considered refuges for roe deer and wild boar. From the ridge, the circular route offers panoramic views of the foothills of the Beaujolais, the countryside around Trambly and the Clunisois. The forest sections are thus complemented by views of three explicitly named landscapes.

Leisure Complex and Another Route

Le tour de la vallée begins and ends at the car park of the leisure complex in Trambly. By contrast, the starting point for A Cloche-Pierres is the car park opposite the town hall. This gives you a specific starting point for each route to use when planning your visit. The leisure complex offers picnic facilities, boules courts and play equipment for children. It also contains the “Agorespace” multisports court, which is open to everyone and suitable for basketball, handball and football. Alongside the circular routes and cultural walking trail, picnicking, boules and ball games are also clearly listed activities to choose from.
