Feature

France :

Beaujolais wine area of "Les Pierres Dorées" (the Golden Stones).

When someone is trotted in the south of the famous vineyard, very near to Villefranche-sur-Saone, not the vines will surprise him but the mineral matter.

Everywhere presents, used in the construction of the houses and the castles, but also of the churches, the laundrettes, the wells and the low walls, it dominates the landscape. Its color gilded, ochre clear or russet-red according to the period of the year, causes soft light and gives Tuscany reflections to the villages. The country of Gilded Stones gathers 33 villages. Among those to discover : Oingt, Theizé, Ternand, Jarnioux... On the banks of Azergue river rise the castles of Rochebonne, Bagnols, Alix, Chazay-d’Azergue. Without any doubt, the country of the gilded stones is one of the most beautiful sites of the neighbourhoods of Lyon.
