Hidden among moss and rocks lies this medieval castle. Quiet, mysterious, and almost swallowed up by nature.
What many people don't know: beneath these ruins lies an ancient underground passage that once connected the castle to the village of Saint-Éloy-d'Allier.
An escape route? A smuggling trail? No one knows for sure...

The Château de la Roche-Guillebaud is a 12th century castle that stands on a rocky outcrop surrounded by a deep ravine and a winding river. It was once a formidable fortress, but it was abandoned and looted after the religious wars in the 17th century. Today, only the walls and the tower remain, giving the place a romantic and eerie atmosphere. You can explore the ruins and imagine the life of the medieval lords who lived there, or follow the legend of a secret tunnel that leads to another castle. You can also extend your hike to nearby Lake Sidiailles, where you can enjoy water sports and a tree climbing park. The ruins of the Château de la Roche-Guillebaud are a hidden gem that will delight history buffs and nature lovers.
