Village center

Arlempdes Castle is the first fortress built on the banks of the Loire. Built on a rocky peak, this 13th century construction is a jewel of Velay. The castle has been included on the list of historic monuments since 1926. During the summer, it is possible to visit it through ASACHAR (Association for the Protection and Animation of Arlempdes Castle).

Roche-en-Régnier is a small village full of charm set on the heights of the Loire. Inhabited by an old fortress, today only an imposing keep remains. If you pass through the village, don’t hesitate to take a trip to the summit of Mont Miaune, thirty minutes from the village. The scenic view over the Loire Valley is exceptional!

The Polignac fortress dominates the Polignac valley and the Puy basin on an impressive basalt platform (remnant of an ancient lava flow).

This town, like so many others in the department of La Haute-Loire, is located at the foot of a volcano. The department has more than 500. This once very prosperous village is dominated by "La Potence". This name is given to the particular ruins of its medieval castle, which dominates the village.

This village is distinguished by a bell tower with polychrome tiles. It is a stone's throw from the Loire and the Château de Beaufort which dominates the river from the top of its rock.
