Located on a granite promontory, the Château de la Roche is a listed historical monument. Built in the 12th century, it overlooks the village of Larochemillay.

Literally sent into the woods, no paths in the woods. Went back

Trail past the waterfall is essentially blocked by many fallen trees. I would recommend the alternative trail from Villapourcon of about 11 km.

After the waterfall, the path is no longer easy to follow. There must have been a storm; a pile of fallen trees are lying around, and the path is no longer recognizable. It gets better again after crossing the small river.

The church square is the central point of the charming village of Larochemillay. It is from this place that we access the castle perched on its rock. The buildings which line the square are very beautiful, as well as the view of the surrounding mountains which is offered from the gîte located there.

Small picoresque stone village. There was once a bakery, today only a local art workshop/gallery serves as a tourist point.

The church of Préporché is placed under the name of Saint-Pierre, it dates from the 12th century, in a massive Romanesque style. Victim of the wars of religion, destroyed by the Huguenots in 1570, it was rebuilt in the 16th century. The building has a barlong plan and is completed by a square chapel. In 1872 the church was restored, the Romanesque facade was destroyed in 1920, it was rebuilt set back for road reasons. It is pierced with modern windows. The church is coated with Morvan granite and pink sandstone. The bell tower is rectangular in plan, it is imposing, its roof is gabled, it has a single bay on its four sides. It has a wooden statue of Saint Peter from the 14th century. Magnificent contemporary stained glass windows are to be discovered, eight stained glass windows, created by the artist Isabel Michel in 2000, their theme is the seasons, the nights, the burning bush and the angel of Saint Peter. Statue of Saint Peter, in wood covered with gray wash, traces of polychromy, it dates from the 14th century. The church would have been built at the end of the 11th century. We find some features from this period in the facade and the west gable, with its Romanesque portal with jambs decorated with a simple column. The building was restored in the 16th and 19th centuries. The apse has a flat bottom. The square bell tower is covered with a gable roof. Inside there is a beautiful 18th century altar, a rustic wooden gallery and a polychrome wooden statue of Saint Peter from the 14th century. Saint Peter and Saint Paul: They cannot be separated. They are the two pillars of the Roman Church, it is the Church of Peter and Paul, the Church of direct witnesses who shared the life of the Lord. Isabel Michel, victorious painter in the competition organized by the municipality, chose the theme of the four seasons to illustrate the stained glass windows of the church with the help of master glassmaker Guy Méliava.

The castle of La Roche rises on a height and commands a strong defensive possession. It is for this reason that a Roman oppidum was built and the first castle was erected in the 8th century. The castle you see in front of you was built in the 18th century. Of the medieval castle, only two circular towers and the ramparts remain.
