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.

Old medieval castle now in ruins. With its enclosure surrounding a stone keep located at the top of a mound, it is an imposing vestige of a feudal past.

Estivareilles is a pretty little town located on the paths to Compostela as well as on the GR 3. Its town is home to a handful of shops to keep you supplied. For a few dollars, the town hall provided a place to spend the night.
