コナウの洞窟・トップ5

Leaving St Geniès de Comolas via the Grand Chemin de Pegueirol you also discover a beautiful view of Mont Ventoux with the beautiful feudal castle of Montfaucon in the foreground.

On a wooded hill you discover this castle in gray stone. It cannot be visited, but know that it has four corner towers which protect four curtain walls and a square tower.

Gicon Castle is a 12th century ruin located at an altitude of 254 metres. It offers beautiful views of the Rhone Valley. An orientation table allows you to learn more about the surrounding area.

The level is not intermediate but expert be careful a lot of walking on stones I think that even part of the route is no longer possible except on foot and even then....

The history of the Château de la Fare begins in the 12th century with the construction of a watchtower, at the foot of which a fortified house was built in the 13th century, blending into the village walls. The current castle dates from the 16th century and was rebuilt after a fatal fire.

The Castellas is not to be confused with the Château de Saint-Victor-Lacoste, which is a hotel found in the center of the village of the same name. Here are the ruins of an ancient castle strategically located on a rocky pyramid. From up there you overlook the Tave plain and the Rhône valley. The ruins date from the 11th to the 12th century. From the way the fortress was designed, it seems impregnable. You can observe it along this road which slaloms between the large limestone rocks.

Nice little village. There is a tap, but do not fill your water bottle at the fountain which is not drinkable.
