Dive into the heart of the Badoit springs

SAINT-GALMIER, A PICTURESQUE VILLAGE BUILT ON A HILL OVERLOOKING THE FOREZ PLAIN.

One of the 100 "most beautiful detours in France" where time is suspended, calm and beauty are gently revealed. A town centre with a rich and ancient heritage to discover as you walk along.
Enthusiasts can talk to the master glassmaker, the stone sculptor and the ceramists. Nature lovers will stroll along the river Coise, take a break at the Rose Garden of the Park, quench their thirst at the Badoit kiosk where a spring has been gushing out since Roman times. Welcome to this little jewel of the Rhône-Alpes region.
