Nice climb with a lovely view of my kingdom

magnificent with a small, rather steep passage (good shoes recommended)

good elevation gain to the castle.

A lethal-looking slide in Novacierie Park in Saint Chamond.

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.

I confirm the interest of the segment to connect St Etienne to St Chamond, however the coating is really not great

The Rive dam discharges its waters into the Gier reservoir which itself relies on the Soulages dam further south. The view from the dam allows you to see the downstream dam and the Gier water reservoir.
