The Jordanne Valley is a lush green valley that was formed as a glacial valley of the Puy Mary. A path through the dense greenery runs through the Jordanne Gorge, stretching for more than 3 km between the communities of Saint-Julien and Saint-Cirgues. A path with small footbridges and bridges allows visitors to discover this beautiful place and takes them deep into the gorge. There is a fee to enter.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

Hear: pretty little place

Oyez Castle from the 12th century with a mansion from the 16th century

Typical village on the banks of the Jordane at the foot of Puy Mary

The Château d'Oyez is a mixture of different buildings: you will find the architectural remains of an old castle, but also a feudal mound and a seigniorial manor. Strategically located, it made it possible to monitor the Jordanne valley. It is now a private residence but a visit can be organized there in July and August, on the occasion of an exhibition.
