The city of the Dukes of Savoy<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

A fortified town in Savoy facing the kingdom of France, erected into a duchy in 1623, Pont-de-Vaux retains the narrow location imposed by the surrounding wall built in the thirteenth century. This is evidenced by the traces of ramparts, mullioned windows, Renaissance pilasters and half-timbered houses scattered throughout this small shopping town in Bresse. The city has grown with the times and there are also a few eighteenth-century mansions proudly displaying their classical facades. <\/p>\n\n

100 years ago, passengers on the tramway that linked Pont-de-Vaux to M\u00e2con travelled along the canal dug by L\u00e9onard Racle<\/strong> (Voltaire’s architect in Ferney) at the end of the eighteenth century. A commercial port had been envisaged but it was finally a marina of 225 rings<\/strong> that was established in its heart at the end of the twentieth century. <\/p>\n\n

Today, it is a small dynamic town, renowned for its gastronomy with a starred chef<\/strong> and which still retains many shops<\/strong>. Don’t miss one of the largest markets in the region on Wednesday mornings<\/strong> ! <\/p>\n\n

The city is also home to a fine arts museum, the Antoine Chintreuil Museum<\/strong>, and an interactive environmental education space, the Maison de l’eau et a nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Ted Nomad’s street art trail<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Antoine Chintreuil Museum, the artist Ted Nomad was asked to create 9 portraits of characters from Pont-de-Vaux in stencil, his favorite technique, on the walls of the city. The result is a route <\/strong>that retraces an original portrait of a “small” town in full evolution with real “Pont\u00e9vallois”, some emblematic characters and newcomers. <\/p>\n\n
