Château de Montrond-les-Bains

Highlight • Castle

Very nice. Some stairs but very short and some nice but not insurmountable difficulties!

This medieval castle is located in the heart of the spa town of Montrond-les-Bains. Built by the Counts of Forez in the 12th century, it has a pretty garden with free access. You will have to walk there while pushing your bike!

A very beautiful route along the banks of the Loire, an interesting itinerary from every point of view! Be careful, however, of the relatively dense vegetation on a small 1 km section along the banks of the Loire!
