Crest Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle above the southern French commune of Crest in the Drôme department. Its preserved keep, at 52 meters high, is probably the highest in France and has been listed as a historical monument since June 1877. Crest Castle was built in several phases from the 10th century to the second half of the 14th century. It was owned by the French crown from 1419 onwards. Louis XIII had it demolished in 1633, with the exception of the keep, which still stands today. The tower then served as a prison until the mid-19th century. In 1988, the commune of Crest acquired it from the French state. The tower has a floor area of 20 by 32 meters and a height of 52 meters. Portcullises, defensive bay windows, and loopholes bear witness to its past as a medieval fortification. The tower has 15 rooms, which were used as living quarters in the Middle Ages and as prison cells after 1633. Numerous graffiti date from this period, including those by Protestants imprisoned there. Source: Wikipedia A tour of the tower is open to the public. The current cost is €10 per adult. The bravest can abseil down the tower's east wall from a height of 42 meters, but this wasn't possible during our visit, presumably due to a lack of tourists.

Pretty views of the river Drome and the valley in both directions, with the tower of Crest visible above the town in a third direction. The bridge has a specific pedestrian/cycle path with seating all the way along it so you can have a good view of the river while catching your breath.

Apart from the beautiful view, the trail is an absolute dream. Significantly easier to ride from north to south, but still challenging for non-freeriders. Oncoming traffic is not so desirable in places.

Always worth a trip. Great view of the Drôme valley and the Forêt de Saoû massif with the Trois Becs.

Here, we find the river which gives its name to the department. The changing colors depending on the time of day and the weather make it a real impressionist painting. This point also offers an excellent view of the Tour de Crest.

The tower of Crest is a true masterpiece. Consisting of three interlocking towers, this tower was part of an old fortress and then became a prison. This architectural gem bears witness to a long history and medieval prison life. From the top of the tower, you have breathtaking views of the Drôme valley and the Ardèche mountains. The visit is worth the detour, with the entertainment throughout the year that takes you on a journey through time.

Magnificent view of the Drôme from the top of the tower. The visit is essential because it is very well documented. You can also appreciate the famous engraving of d'Artagnan's face!
