Saint-Haon-le-Chatel, its ramparts and half-timbered houses welcome you and seduce you in the blink of an eye. Labeled “Village of character in the Loire”, this heritage gem is perched on a rocky outcrop and offers a remarkable view of the mounts of the Madeleine.

If you are curious, take a detour through the medieval garden and discover a hundred varieties of plants. You can also stop at the tea room, the Estaminet, and taste a pastry or even spend a night at the stopover lodge.
