Amis de Vienne

The Association des Amis de Vienne is a long-established association dedicated to preserving the historical legacy and urban character of Vienne, a city situated along the Rhône Valley, an important corridor of exchange. Its work encourages people to learn more about the city, rediscover its neighbourhoods, protect its urban landscape and keep its history alive. The association also supports research into Vienne’s past and helps visitors prepare to explore its heritage.

Its activities include conferences, local outings and organised trips, alongside regular news and an events programme. Members and readers can consult the association’s bulletins, bibliography and archives, and browse a gallery of images. Its publications include material on local history, such as a booklet about the Gère Valley, as well as bibliographic and annual chronological resources on Vienne. The website also highlights places of historical and cultural interest, including the Roman Theatre, the Gallo-Roman Museum, Saint-Maurice Cathedral, archaeological sites, churches and historic buildings.
