Culture and history

The Buchsbaumpark in Vion reproduces the ground plan of the Holy Places of Jerusalem. The Basilique Notre Dame du Chêne, a Marian pilgrimage site and diocesan spiritual centre, also contributes to the cultural character of the town.

The Circuit vert discovery route leads to the Saint Aubin Church in Vion, a neo-Gothic church with paintings, stained-glass windows and corbels. The church is thus directly connected with a route that also leads to the La Forge de l'âme workshop, a craft business specialising in knife-making.
