You can ride right up to the castle then climb up onto the top. The views spectacular

From the bridge over the Loire and then to the right is a drama! Too narrow, poorly visible and even dangerous. Over the road to Artias is much better.

Very pretty

With the patronage of "John the Baptist", this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of the voice in the desert prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: In the desert prepare the way for the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!" (Luther Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Mother of God Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself was to give birth to Jesus Christ, and her - until then childless - relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of Saint Jean Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th.

The Devil's Bridge spans the Ance. It dates from the 10th century and is classified as a historic monument. Legend has it that this bridge was often destroyed by the floods of the Ance. The lord of Chalencon made a pact with the Devil so that it remained intact.

The medieval village of Chalencon dates from the Middle Ages. It dominates the Ance river from its rocky spur and displays architecture from the medieval era which takes you back to the time of the powerful lords who administered Velay.

The Saint-Paul church, from the 14th century and formerly attached to the monastery of La Chaise-Dieu, is an extension of the castle. It is easily recognizable from the surrounding area thanks to its spire at the top of its bell tower. Restoration work was undertaken in the 19th century.
