Travel Guide Fleurieux-Sur-L'Arbresle

(Fleurieux-sur-l'Arbresle) Fleurieux-sur-l'Arbresle presents a hilly landscape to the east of the Arbresle, offering various views of the village and its surroundings. In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte, en route to the hamlet of the Pole, a real lookout on the Monts du Lyonnais, Beaujolais, the Saône plain, the golden Mountains and the Alpine chain, said: " I have seen many countries, but really, this is the most grandiose panorama we can see ". The life of the commune has long been punctuated by intense agricultural activity and numerous galleries remain. The village is grouped around its th century church, whose western portal comes from the abbey of Savigny. There are two owls who appear today on the blason of the commune. The church under the protection of Saint Barthélémy, a th century building, contains, among other things, a pietà of the th century, a christ of polycrome wood, a virgin wood of the th century, a painting of the Virgin to seven recently restored pain. The successive activities of the commune have been, like many communes in Lyonnais, agriculture (the agricultural population has declined by 1/4 since 1960) and the weaving industry. Like most rural municipalities in the canton, Fleurieux has become a commune dormitory for urban workers since the s. By moving along the trails, we cross what represents the "country heritage": a dozen crosses of golden stones, all restored, many old wells and porches characteristic of ancient farms. Easter, small and large gather for egg picking in the school park. No one returns, supplies are guaranteed!
