On a hill in Chazelet stands this robust Romanesque church, built in the 12th century. Up close, you can see that the stones are all slightly different—because they used materials that literally came from the surrounding area: pieces of fieldstone, remnants of old priories, even fossilized river sand. The most beautiful feature is the entrance: that deep, layered Romanesque arch.

You wouldn't expect it in such a small village, but this is one of the last castles in France that's still truly medieval. Think: deep moats, five robust round towers, and a square tower with those characteristic machicolations where boiling water used to be poured. Perfect for those who love castles without the Disney flavor, but with character.

The Château de Chazelet was built in the middle of the 16th century by François Pot, Lord of Chassingrimont. The plot of Alexandre Dumas' novel La Fille du Marquis is based on the Château de Chazelet. He went to the castle several times to visit the owner.

This magnificent village sitting on a granite rock and overlooking the river and the valley of the wallet is in fact the residence of the Benedictine monks in the priory which adjoins the church of Saint Jean-Baptiste. With its ramparts and medieval streets, this village is a must see.
