    This castle, listed as a World Heritage Site since 2011, is impressive! It is nicknamed the vessel of the Cévennes as its construction sometimes makes one think of the bow of a ship.

    Its once strategic position allows it a panorama ranging from Mont Lozère to the Alps.

    The site is open to the public. Definitely worth going there.

    Dates from 1052, the old village was razed, used to be where the current car park now is.
