For the speed demons. I really squeezed the brake levers here :-)

Really old bridge paved with coble stones.

Beautiful old bridge. The bridge's base is completely paved with cobblestones.

It is not a Roman bridge but a Romanesque bridge and that makes a substantial difference of a few centuries!

romantic little place

You can get up on foot

The Chouvigny gorges follow the Sioule river, which has carved a deep and narrow gorge through the volcanic rocks of the Combrailles region. You'll enjoy views of lush greenery, towering cliffs and the medieval Chouvigny Castle, which dates from the 13th century. You can also stop at the village of Chouvigny, which has a rich history and charming atmosphere.

Lord Davis Castle at Charbonnières-les-Vieilles was built in the late 19th century by Lord Mortimer Davis, a wealthy Englishman who had married a local heiress. The castle is a magnificent example of neoclassical style, with elegant facades, ornate interiors and a wrought iron gate that was exhibited at the 1878 World's Fair. The castle is surrounded by a park which offers panoramic views of the countryside and the neighboring volcanoes. The castle is only open to visitors by appointment. So be sure to contact the owners in advance if you want to see the interior of this remarkable monument.
