Ancient fortified house anchored on its rocky peak since the XNUMXth centurye century and taking advantage of a strategic location on the river. Frequented since antiquity for trade, the castle has been surrounded by water since the creation of the Villerest dam in 1982.
You will then pass through the village of Saint-Priest-la-Roche, located overlooking the gorges and will be able to discover its pretty blue granite stone church and its glazed tile bell tower.
