When planning a trip, the desire to rent a holiday apartment in L'Hôpital-le-Grand may be the main focus.
Nature and Trails
The 12-kilometre Circuit du Triangle begins in Unias and passes through Unias, L'Hôpital-le-Grand and Craintilleux. As a circular hiking trail, the route connects Unias with Craintilleux. The town is therefore also part of a trail landscape shaped by the year-round section of the GR765.
Leisure in the Park
Hop'Loisirs Park includes a pump track for bicycles, scooters and skateboards. There is also a tennis court available for free use. The park also features an open-air theatre for outdoor performances and events.
Culture and History
The present-day Sainte-Croix Church dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. It has one of the few surviving rammed-earth naves in the canton. Its square bell tower has a chapel on the ground floor and a bell chamber above; each side features paired openings.
The present-day church replaced the former chapel of the commandery and probably preserves some of its elements. A thick wall beside the church could be the only surviving remnant of the former commandery. The Marian Chapel contains a baptismal font that may be a modified architectural element dating from the 16th century. The monumental cross dates from the last quarter of the 20th century.
