This very fine example of a fortified castle is old: the keep and its enclosure date from the 12th century. The very pretty Saint-Blaise chapel is also part of the site and can be visited. From the ruins of this building, you will have a very beautiful view of the Rhône valleys and those surrounding them.

Hiking

From the small village of La Touche, after a beautiful but not very easy hike (good hiking shoes 🥾 / sure-footedness) you reach this beautiful castle ruin over a rocky ridge.
The well-preserved/renovated tower is open for free visits at certain times (currently: 2:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. except on Saturdays and Sundays).
