Oingt is located in the Beaujolais vineyards of the Rhone, 25 kilometres northwest of Lyon.

Oingt had its period of prosperity from the 12th-14th centuries - the time at which the castle was also built. But from the 16th century, the village was ravaged by the plague and very much damaged in war and attacks.

The regeneration of Oingt starts from the middle of the 20th century, with the restoration of several of the key buildings such as the castle's chapel, and many of the streets (eg Rue trayne Cul) and buildings that comprise the village. The 'regeneration' of the village perhaps culminated in the 2007 listing as a 'most beautiful village'.

The village buildings are constructed (and restored) in the local honey-coloured stone, and highlights include the remnants from the past - a fortified gate - the Nizy gate, now the main remaining vestige of the town fortifications; the castle keep; and the chapel that once formed part of the castle.

A pleasant and pretty town to explore, Oingt also has far-reaching views from across the Azergues valley and southern Beaujolais region - especially from the castle keep.
