Iron chains once stretched across the Rhône at Tournon, sealing its secrets from invaders and the unwary. Beneath the gentle stone arches of Saint-Julien’s Church and the ancient stones of its castle, a city’s true legends wait to be uncovered.

This is your self-guided audio journey through Tournon-sur-Rhône. Navigate hidden corners and storied facades, unlocking tales overlooked by hurried tourists and overlooked in the history books.

What vanished treasure drove a desperate heist beneath the eyes of Gabriel-Faure’s students? Which forbidden words once echoed inside the castle’s thick walls, nearly igniting a rebellion? Why were monks at Saint-Julien obsessed with an exact number of candles—never one more or less?

Move from shadow to sunlight, tracing the city’s heartbeat through centuries of rivalry, monks’ secrets, political intrigue, and the quiet whispers of scandal. Each step promises a new twist on the familiar.

Slip behind the facades—let Tournon reveal itself. Your adventure begins now.
