Saint-Chamond stands out for its energy and contrasts. With 35,586 residents, it is the second-largest town in the Loire department and stretches through the heart of the Gier valley, on the doorstep of the Pilat Regional Natural Park.
In just a few minutes, your gaze moves from the lively squares of the town centre to hiking trails, from architectural treasures to views across the green hills.
Its heritage tells two thousand years of history, from the remains of the Roman aqueduct to Espace Notre-Dame, a former church that has become an iconic cultural venue. The town is also reinventing itself at Novaciéries, a former industrial site transformed into an innovative eco-district, where leisure, shops and businesses come together in the heart of a large urban park.
Starting from Place de la Liberté, Saint-Chamond reveals itself as a vibrant, welcoming and authentic town where modernity and memory exist side by side.
An inspiring stop for the peloton and for all visitors in search of authenticity, nature and vitality.
