Montferrand Castle

Highlight • Castle

The ruins of the Château de Montferrand are the first highlight of the tour, but be careful not to get into the castle's former quarry from the 15th century as I did.

March 2, 2025,Chateau de Monteferrand – Magnificent view loop from Saint-Jean-de-Cuculles

Great route. However, it doesn't work out 3 km after the descent. Land owners have put up many fences and we ended up trampling through bushes and brambles and made it to a road were we could pick up the intended way. First half absolutely magnificent 👏 👌
