Do you dare to climb the tower and contemplate a magnificent 360 degree view?

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

November 13, 2022,Chambles – Château d'Essalois Circuit à partir de Chambles
A small downside. On the second part going down we cut the biesse path and then after crossing a wood we go along a field and we have to jump a barbed wire fence 😡
