Tour de Chambles - Panoramic view over the gorges

Highlight • Historical Site

Tour of the village of Chambles, from which you are offered a panoramic view of the Loire and the regional nature reserve of the Loire gorges. The stairs are quite steep to climb to the top of the Tower.

Essalois Castle

Highlight • Castle

Warning! The climb to the castle is impassable by bike.
Passages at 17%, sandy path, large stones and ruts. It looks more like a dried-up torrent bed than a path.
A real pain on a bike with panniers
