フェリエール＝レ＝ヴェレリーの洞窟・トップ5

Possibility of making a loop to get to the Château de Montferrand from the car park

From the water tanks, accessible from the rear, we have a view of the peak, the castle of Montferrand and the plain of St Mathieu

Be careful, the first loop is not easy with a not very maintained path, difficult to follow and lots of rocks. It took us a good hour to get to the crossroads and we didn't continue. On the other hand, the return on the 2nd loop was very easy and pleasant (15 mins)

Imposing ruins, it is hard to imagine the work to transport the materials and build these buildings 🥵

Remains of an old castle from the 12th century and located at the western end of the Corniche de l'Hortus.

A very nice place with a great view! A 12th century castle which has several names: - Le Castellas / The old castle / Roquefourcade / The castle of Saint-Hippolyte-le-Vieux.

For lovers of old stones, fortress dating back to the 11th century which dominates the village of Brissac. Away from the main roads at the end of a narrow road which ends in the small square of the old village. Surprisingly, this building does not appear in the inventory of cultural heritage listing the French Historic Monuments ... The market town of Brissac below has a certain charm with its Romanesque church behind which you will find a square with a café-restaurant offering a quiet terrace. Crossed by several rivers, the town offers an island of greenery in the middle of the scrubland, and can be a pleasant stopover.

Good vantage point to look out over the Val Monteferrand. Unfortunately, the castle ruins are cordoned off for security reasons.
