nice walk and restaurant for a drink

good elevation gain to the castle.

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

The Canal du Forez is 44 kilometers long. It plays an important role in the irrigation of the lands of the plain, since it is the main water resource of the Forez basin. It is ideal for a walk.

The loop around the Canal du Forez is very pleasant and above all within the reach of all cyclists from 7 to 77 years old! The tracks are perfect, to point out the crossing of the Bonson which must be done in the water because the bridge is narrow for the crossing. Be careful on the way back, a closed lock prevents passage on the left bank.
