Tourism in Hermitage Tournonais

Staying at the Hotel de la Villeon, a luxury hotel in Rhône-Alpes, will give you the opportunity to discover a region with an exceptional cultural, historical and oenological heritage. First there is the town… Tournon-sur-Rhône. The name instantly evokes the motion and the permanent, complicit pace of the King River which for centuries has granted it a choice location: this is a place where France has witnessed some of the most noteworthy chapters of its History, leaving in its wake a heritage that is solidly rooted in stone and in the hearts of the loyal Ardechois.

As a Sub-Prefecture of the Ardèche (one of France’s most prosperous departments), the town of Tournon enjoys a substantial amount of added value, providing its inhabitants and passing friends with an extraordinary quality of life. Art and Culture blend with Nature and the fundamentals, resulting in a harmonious dialogue between generations of all ages and origins.

Substantial historical, economic and political heritage has caused the town to face the future with determination, so it is not afraid to implement the transformations 

that are required in highlighting one of the origins of its name: “Turris Fortissima – the town that is stronger thanks to its towers”.
