All roads lead to Rome, but many of them pass through Ars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you’ve come to Ars by the bend in the road, along a vacation route, are planning to come to Ars or have discovered it “by chance”, we welcome you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ars is a small, authentic and peaceful village of<\/span> 1,500 inhabitants, it has been awarded the Pays d’art et d’histoire label, and is located in the heart of La Dombes, at the crossroads of Beaujolais, Bresse and Metropolitan France.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a village with a remarkable heritage, where you can visit the Basilique Saint-Sixte, a neo-Byzantine jewel designed by Pierre Bosan, architect of Lyon’s Basilique de Fourvi\u00e8re; the Chapelle du Coeur, which houses a relic; and the semi-subterranean church of Notre-Dame de la Mis\u00e9ricorde, designed by Pierre Pinsard and classified as a remarkable 20th-century building.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Maison du Saint Jean-Marie Vianney is the presbytery in which the Cur\u00e9 d’Ars lived, preserved in its original state. You’ll discover the objects that once belonged to him and the pieces of furniture he used.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wax Museum<\/a>, <\/span>the only museum of its kind in our region, invites you to discover the life of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney through 17 works of art. <\/span> surprisingly realistic scenes. 35 wax figures have been specially created by Les Ateliers Gr\u00e9vin, and you’ll be seduced by their beauty and realism, their haute couture costumes and their striking sets… <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ars, a place for cultural renewal, is also part of the history and architecture of our region. \n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Take advantage of your visit to Ars to discover P\u00e9rouges<\/a><\/span>one of France’s most beautiful villages, or Tr\u00e9voux<\/a><\/span>the capital of the former Principality of Dombes, a Plus Beaux D\u00e9tours de France and the heart of the Pays d’Art et d’Histoire, or Ch\u00e2tillon-sur-Chalaronne<\/a>…<\/span><\/p>\n

A little further afield, Lyon with Fourvi\u00e8re Basilica, Roman remains, Old Lyon, Parc de la t\u00eate d’Or…. the Monast\u00e8re Royal de Brou<\/a><\/span>Paray-le-Monial…<\/span><\/p>\n

Ars also offers you the chance to recharge your batteries through nature and sport. In the vicinity of our village, you can get away from it all on our 20 hiking trails, 25 hectares of forest, 70 km of “voie bleue” and dedicated bike paths. It’s an opportunity to discover the biodiversity typical of the Dombes region and its wetlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

And to take things a step further, just 20 minutes from Ars, you can visit the Parc des oiseaux <\/a><\/span>with its nature reserve, a major ornithological migratory stopover.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

One scene has remained so celebrated in Ars that it has even been immortalized by a statue that we call here Monument de la Rencontre (<\/span>\n add a small photo<\/span>\n<\/i> ?) . On the day of his arrival in Ars, Saint Jean-Marie Vianney, unable to find his way, asked a young shepherd, Antoine Givre, for directions. Thanking him for his help, the Holy Cur\u00e9 said, “You<\/span> showed me the way to Ars, I’ll show you the way to heaven! ” <\/span><\/p>

Several routes pass through Ars. <\/span>On foot or by bike, with family or friends, our region is criss-crossed<\/span> from north to south by La Voie Bleue<\/a>, Moselle-Sa\u00f4ne by bike, <\/span>and numerous hiking trails, with different levels of difficulty and a variety of landscapes and distances.<\/span><\/p>

Among the walks in the footsteps of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney, there is a <\/span>a 16 km signposted path followed by the Saint Cur\u00e9 d’Ars from Ars to Montmerle-sur-Sa\u00f4ne.<\/span><\/p>

You can find this route and many others on Visorando :<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
