シャルネイの洞窟・トップ15

Magnificent golden stone village overlooking the valley

Built between 1883 and 1886, Fort du Paillet was part of the fortified belt of Lyon. This well-preserved site housed up to 400 soldiers and controlled the strategic routes to Paris. Decommissioned in 1899, it was an internment center during the Second World War. Today, a trail allows you to discover its 35 hexagonal markers and its rich military past. A place combining history and nature, perfect for a break on your trail or hike.

Chateau in the pretty village of Taizé

Rochebonne Castle was razed in 1363 and built during the 17th century. It is listed as a Historic Monument. The view of the Beaujolais vineyards is superb from the castle courtyard.

The Fort du Paillet, located in the Monts du Lyonnais, is a historic site surrounded by nature offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding region. This fort, once strategic, is today a peaceful place where vegetation has regained its rights, creating a unique setting for a walk.

The Chateau de Charnay area offers excellent mountain biking opportunities, with trails winding through the picturesque Beaujolais countryside. Located in the Rhône department, the chateau itself is a classic medieval fortress with golden stone walls that are a reminder of the region’s history. You can stop and have a coffee while enjoying the village atmosphere.
