Medieval city, Saint-Pal-de-Chalencon today offers lovers of old stones many subjects of curiosity.
Strolling through the streets, one will discover a rich historical heritage, fortified walls of the town where a few towers and three gates still remain (including two listed and one listed), old houses with turrets in the town or with mullioned windows but also a assembly, bread oven in the hamlet of “Combreaux”, and some magnificent crosses carved in the hamlets.

The castle is one of the only ones not to be in ruins in the region, this feudal castle rebuilt in the 1820th century, dominates with its mass and its three towers the escarpment of Saint-Pal. The old courtyard, attached to the church, became (in XNUMX) a public square by demolishing its eastern wall and the northern tower.

A few kilometers away, you can admire a polisher dating from the period of cut stone, the period of polished stone, also known as the Neolithic period, the latter ranging from approximately 5000 to 2500 BC.

Known polishers are rare, they were used to cut stones and tools. This rock is the Chier Marty "The Martin rock" (distorted by the cadastre in CHA MARTY, C.62), so called from the name of the Apostle of the Gauls, whose feet of the mount would have printed on the rock the two deep notches which are noticed there. You can access it thanks to the discovery trail.
