Ruins of a medieval castle

Hiking
"Its objective was to monitor the Sioule valley and the Menat bridge, an important crossing point. A motte-and-bailey castle was built on the site in the 9th century. (Wikipedia).
A must-see site, of course.
Dangerous area (risk of falling rocks).
This building has been reinforced, and still seems to be undergoing consolidation work.
A few signs explain the role of the castle, as well as the project.
Venturing beyond the barriers is a risk for you.

The promontory on which the Rocher castle is perched allows you to enjoy a dominating view of the gorges and valleys of the Sioule.
