The castle is planted on the heights of Carladez and Aubrac, from where there is a breathtaking view of the Gorges de la Truyère. The site can be visited freely.

The Château de Valon has watched over the Truyère gorges since the 11th century but suffered after the Revolution, when it was abandoned and used as a stone quarry (like many other châteaux).
