Visite guidée groupe – Morestel, la cité des peintres et la Maison Ravier

Thursday May 02
Morestel
  • History
  • Painting
The picturesque streets will take you to the imposing medieval Tower, an ideal perch from which to discover a breathtaking panorama! F-A. Ravier, leader of the Lyon landscape school, made no mistake when he took up residence in Morestel.
A visit in two stages:
The visit to the old town of Morestel includes the listed Saint-Symphorien church
in the inventory of Historic Monuments, the Medieval Tower dated
XNUMXth century completely restored and transformed into an exhibition space,
the ascent to the top of the Tower with its orientation table and finally the
discovery of the picturesque alleys of the old town.
If Morestel is often known to be crossed, the "old town" is often less so. A walkway along the ramparts will reveal an exceptional panorama of this town combining dynamism, art, charm and authenticity. To discover or rediscover with the comments of professional guides!

The visit of Maison Ravier:
This early XNUMXth century residence located in the heart of the old town is remarkable for the elegance of its proportions.
François Auguste Ravier moved there in 1867 and lived there for 28 years, until his death.
The site is labeled “Maison des illustrious”. Maison Ravier hosts on the ground floor an exhibition space presenting a permanent collection of François Auguste Ravier as well as a space dedicated to the portrait painter François Guiguet.
Duration of the visit: 2h30
Many steps.
