good elevation gain to the castle.

Rochetaillée Castle is a castle in Saint-Étienne (in Rochetaillée) in the Loire department. It is listed as a historical monument by decree of 5 April 19301. Its date of construction remains unknown but we find at least its trace in the literature in 1173. Indeed, the permutation of 1173 between the Count of Forez and the Church of Lyon indicates that whoever will have the Rochetaillée castle will owe homage and loyalty to the Count2. Situated on a rocky peak that makes it inaccessible to the north, the castle was composed of four towers, three of which remain today.

Dam with a beautiful history and architecture, the view is worth it

Built in 1866, this dam was designed to regulate the waters of the Furan River and prevent flooding. The site is surrounded by hiking trails offering spectacular views of waterfalls and natural landscapes.

A historic castle nestled in a magnificent natural setting. An enriching hike for history buffs.

The Gouffre d'Enfer dam was erected at the request of Napoleon III. It is one of the first “masonry arch weight” dams in Europe. If the name inspires little confidence, this place is sublime, especially in autumn when the colors of the forest change.

The Rive dam discharges its waters into the Gier reservoir which itself relies on the Soulages dam further south. The view from the dam allows you to see the downstream dam and the Gier water reservoir.

Currently impossible to climb without setting foot on the ground. Large stones and cracks following the bad weather of the last few days
