Located on the first foothills of the Jura massif, the Château de Chevreaux is perched on a promontory at an altitude of 470 metres. It already existed in 1158, and since that date several families have succeeded. In 1637, the French army completely destroyed the site. The castle is in ruins but its reconstruction is in progress thanks to the Friends of Chevreaux Châtel association. Here, you can see different craftsmen at work: stone cutters, ironworkers, blacksmiths.

Nice historical site to discover along the Via Cluny, with a superb view of the Bresse.
