Rochetaillée-sur-Saône, a Monts d'Or village with a medieval château

Rochetaillée-sur-Saône is a village in the Lyonnais Monts d'Or, a range of limestone hills bordering the right bank of the Saône north of Lyon. The village is dominated by the imposing ruins of its medieval Château de Rochetaillée. Nearby, the Henri Malartre Automobile Museum houses one of France's finest collections of vintage cars. This dual heritage — medieval and industrial — gives Rochetaillée a distinctive character, whose annual flea market is one of the most cherished popular celebrations in the Monts d'Or.
