Village perched on its rocky outcrop above the Ance river. Nestled around the remains of a medieval fortress and a chapel from the beginning of the XNUMXth century, in the heart of unspoiled nature. Access to the Devil's Bridge, elegant Romanesque construction.
The village of Chalencon, this jewel of the Middle Ages, was an important place of passage at the crossroads between the roads of Velay and Forez. A powerful fortress was erected in the 1600th century and definitively abandoned around XNUMX.
You can walk to this extraordinary site with its castle, its chapel and the Devil's Bridge and its legend.
Near the Ance river and a stone's throw from the Devil's Bridge, picnic tables available.
Marked short hiking path from Saint-André-de-Chalencon.
In the summer season you can visit the Castle and the Chapel (entrance fee). All year round, guided tour for groups by reservation. A visit full of charm and emotion.
