good elevation gain to the castle.

Very nice and beautiful view

Rochetaillée Castle is a castle in Saint-Étienne (in Rochetaillée) in the Loire department. It is listed as a historical monument by decree of 5 April 19301. Its date of construction remains unknown but we find at least its trace in the literature in 1173. Indeed, the permutation of 1173 between the Count of Forez and the Church of Lyon indicates that whoever will have the Rochetaillée castle will owe homage and loyalty to the Count2. Situated on a rocky peak that makes it inaccessible to the north, the castle was composed of four towers, three of which remain today.

A historic castle nestled in a magnificent natural setting. An enriching hike for history buffs.

Currently impossible to climb without setting foot on the ground. Large stones and cracks following the bad weather of the last few days

Magnificent castle overlooking the village, it is even possible to go into the courtyard.

Difficult and changeable climb, the path deepens with the rains. Nice but technical downhill

The Château de Rochetaillée-sur-Saône sits on a hill high above the city and the river. The castle was built in the 12th century, became state property after the French Revolution in 1790 and gradually fell into disrepair. In 1892, Pierre Claude Bellingard carried out a first restoration. With the takeover of the castle in 1902, Jean Joseph Clerc restored the castle and expanded it into a chateau. In 1959, Henry Malartre acquired the castle and set up the Musée Henri Malartre automobile museum in it.
