The castle of La Roche rises on a height and commands a strong defensive possession. It is for this reason that a Roman oppidum was built and the first castle was erected in the 8th century. The castle you see in front of you was built in the 18th century. Of the medieval castle, only two circular towers and the ramparts remain.
