Near the Col de Sainte-Marie, a short climb leads to this rock on which an old castle, the Château de Faîte, was erected. The Revolution and the two world wars destroyed the fortifications which are now in ruins. The ridge on which the rock is located was indeed the subject of numerous clashes between French and Germans in the 20th century.

Unfortunately, you obviously cannot delete your own highlights, which is really stupid.
