Old Lamastre train station

Highlight • Historical Site

The old Lamastre station is the arrival point of the Ardèche train. Called Le Mastrou, this train takes you on a discovery of the Gorges du Doux. Built from 1886 to 1891, the railway line goes up the gorges from Saint-Jean-de-Muzol to Lamastre. This old steam locomotive takes you back in time. It is possible to make the trip with bicycles. Remember to book your tickets well in advance, especially during the summer.

Château de Retourtour

Highlight • Castle

Established in an old meander of the Doux, on a small rocky prominence, the castle of Retourtour is located in a valley floor that allowed it to control the route connecting the Rhône valley to Puy en Velay, via the Doux valley.

Likely built in the 10th century by the Pagan-Retourtour family, its name is derived from the Latin "Retortoris" because of the peninsula formed by the river.

Retourtour swimming area

Highlight • Beach

The small swimming lake in the village of Retourtour is there thanks to the minimal damming of the Doux river. Even a small pebble / sand beach was created - the perfect spot to refresh yourself during a bike tour. Nearby you can also admire the ruins of an old castle, which are now completely overgrown with plants.
