A beautiful castle ruin that unfortunately cannot be visited as it is fenced off and privately owned.

Ford that can get your feet wet. The bottom is hard. The access path can be very greasy in the bad season.

Nice long ford and hard at the bottom. Due to its width, it is not very deep even in bad seasons. It is well enclosed and in one direction or the other, you will have a nice descent and a nice climb to access it.

Unfortunately this monument was closed when we passed by. That's why there is only one photo!

Impressive 6-storey belfry built in the 13th century and whose framework dates from 1490. It is part of the second enclosure of the town of Dun sur Auron and allowed control of the entire Auron valley, and in particular the important Galloway. -Roman which led from Bourges to Lyon, until a third enclosure was built. The town's clock tower was installed there at the beginning of the 15th century.

By visiting the Dun sur Auron Castle Ramparts, you can admire the beautifully preserved ancient ramparts that surround the charming village of Dun sur Auron, offering a journey back in time. As you explore the cobbled streets, you'll discover well-preserved medieval architecture, including half-timbered houses and historic monuments. The extensive views from the ramparts themselves are a highlight, as they offer breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding countryside. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll along these ramparts and immerse yourself in the rich history and timeless beauty of this hidden gem, where the past comes to life amidst a picturesque French landscape.
