The Saint-Paul church, from the 14th century and formerly attached to the monastery of La Chaise-Dieu, is an extension of the castle. It is easily recognizable from the surrounding area thanks to its spire at the top of its bell tower. Restoration work was undertaken in the 19th century.

Estivareilles

Highlight • Settlement

Estivareilles is a pretty little town located on the paths to Compostela as well as on the GR 3. Its town is home to a handful of shops to keep you supplied. For a few dollars, the town hall provided a place to spend the night.

Highlight • Castle

Stroll the cobbled streets of the historic district and discover its bourgeois houses from the 15th and 16th centuries, then climb up to the Collegiate Church to admire an exceptional panorama; from the plain of Forez to the Massif Central, Pilat and the Alps.
