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.

Valprivas is a small town perched on the top of a hill which rises above 800 meters above sea level. Stronghold in the north of the ancient country of Velay, a 10th century castle guards its entrance. Further south, an orientation table allows you a beautiful overview of the surrounding landscapes, from the Pilat massif, through the Forez, Velay, Cévennes and Gévaudan mountains, to the Puys chain.

Bezan is a pleasant little lake, lined with walking paths which invite you to discover its history. Among other things, a pitch oven is open to the public and allows you to better understand how pitch was used to polish ropes and laces, but also to caulk barrels, boats and houses.

Climb up to the Collegiate Church to admire an exceptional panorama from the Forez plain to the Massif Central, Pilat and the Alps. The Gothic-style collegiate church is remarkable for its size and sobriety.

This former county castellany has retained part of the wall of the fortified town and lines up, along its cobbled streets, bourgeois and aristocratic houses from the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Château d'Artias, whose existence dates back at least to the 10th century, suffered during the French Revolution, a period from which the castle was used as a stone quarry. The ruins are now classified as Historic Monuments. Its location on a pyramidal rock block makes it quite a spectacular place.
