マルシリー＝ル＝シャテルのおすすめランニングルート

Wonderfully impressive history with a view. https://huettemann.eu/de/2024/02/bergauf-bergab-an-die-loire-berndscamino/

The monastery was built in the 8th century in cinder stones. The current buildings have been restored. They date from the 15th century. The whole is made up of the church (12th and 15th centuries), the Prior's dwelling, the gallery (15th century), the vaulted cellar (13th century) and the chapter house.

This Casadean priory (congregation of La Chaise-Dieu) stands on a basaltic peak in the heart of the Forez plain. The peak offers a magnificent 360° view of the Monts du Forez and the Monts du Lyonnais.

Magical atmosphere, especially at dusk.

From up here, the statue of the Virgin Mary looks out over the Montbrison landscape. With this work, the builders have set an impressive sign of their wish for the blessing of the Blessed Mother for the "country and people" of the region.

Apart from the fantastic view, it is something special to spend the night in the old walls.

This very well restored old monastery now serves, among other things, as a hostel for pilgrims and hikers.
