Discover Saint-Sauveur-De-Montagut

Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut combines hiking destinations with a museum dedicated to industrial history and seasonal activities on the Glueyre. The options for planning your trip are easy to distinguish: a challenging circular hike, cultural history, cycling or water sports. Which of these you want to focus on can also shape your choice of hotel for your stay.

Hiking to Pic Lafont and the château ruins

The Tour de l'Orsanne is a difficult 15.21-kilometre circular hike. It starts in a car park opposite the school on the D102 in Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut and leads to Pic Lafont and the site of the former Château de Montagut. The route ends back at the starting point. Check local conditions before setting off.

The ruins of Château de Montagut date back to the 12th century. A small footpath leads to them from the public garden; check locally whether there are any temporary access restrictions. From the ruins, there are unobstructed views across the valleys of the Glueyre, Auzène and Eyrieux. When planning, you can therefore take two different aspects into account: the marked circular hike and access to the ruins from the public garden.

Industrial history at the Musée Montagut

The Musée Montagut offers an illustrated and documented tour of Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut’s industrial heyday. The museum also tells the story and international development of the Maison Montagut family brand. If you want to include local history in your trip alongside hiking, the museum provides a specific cultural focus.

Cycling and water activities

The Boucle VAE n° 4 passes through the Natura 2000 site “Vallée de l'Eyrieux et ses affluents”. The Dolce Via is suitable for bicycles, e-bikes and walking. There are numerous picnic spots, swimming areas and recreation areas along the route. As facilities may change, check the information about the areas relevant to you before making plans.

Supervised swimming is available at Plage de Fontugne on the Glueyre in July and August. Take this seasonal window into account when planning your trip and confirm it before travelling. KAÉLO offers a guided introductory kayaking session at its practice location in Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut. This activity is also seasonal; check availability in advance. Swimming and a guided introductory kayaking session are different ways to spend time on the water: one focuses on supervised swimming, while the other offers an instructor-led introduction to kayaking.

Market and getting there

The Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut market takes place every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the town centre. As the weekly schedule may be important for your visit, check the times again locally before travelling. Line 01 of the T'CAP network goes to Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut. Public transport information may change; check the operator’s latest information before travelling.

The activities offer different points of reference when choosing your destination: the challenging hike for scenery and ruins, the Musée Montagut for industrial history, and cycling and water activities, each with its own conditions of use. If one of these is essential to your stay, you can make it a priority when comparing your hotel options.
