Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, Medieval commune in eastern France.
The Chalaronne River crosses through the town center, contributing to the local agriculture and shaping the development of residential areas.
The settlement emerged around a castle constructed in 1000 AD, transforming from its original name Châtillon-les-Dombes to the current designation.
The Festival National de théâtre contemporain amateur gathers theater groups annually to perform diverse productions at local venues.
The town maintains a digital museum called MICRO-FOLIE that presents exhibitions and educational programs through modern technology.
Saint Vincent de Paul established the Brotherhood of Charity in 1617, while botanist Philibert Commerson, born here in 1727, conducted scientific research.
