St Etienne Airport
About St Etienne
St Etienne has done a lot recently to throw of the image
of being rather dark, dour and industrial - St Etienne is known as the
Ville Verte (green town). Place de Peuple is fairly lively but the citys
two main attractions are indoors: Musée dArt et dIndustrie
and the Musée dArt Moderne. The first will grab anyones
attention who likes mechanical things and the second is for contemporary
art lovers and includes works by Andy Warhol.
Nearby, St-Hâon-le-Châtel is a fortified hilltop
village with several dramatic imposing towers and gates. Also near St
Etienne is the Château de la Roche, Saint Priest which thanks
to an artificial barrage looks moated. Montbrison off the A72 on the
way down to St Etienne makes for a pleasant detour. Despite being damaged
during the Hundred Years War and Wars of Religion, the 13-14th
century gothic church of Notre Dame dEspérance has an imposing
facade, large nave and 42m high tower.
