When we linger over the grandiose view offered by this route over the Gorges de la Semène, we can easily imagine what the role of this medieval castle was, of which only the tower remains. Guardian of the Semène, which marked the border between Forez and Velay, this XNUMXth century building has known several lives: seigneurial castle, prison, place of pilgrimages and mysterious apparitions. If the old tower could talk, we would listen to its stories, leaning against its ancient stone, contemplating the clear waters of the river.
