Built by Vauban on a rock overlooking the town, this structure has been modified several times over the centuries. The first fortified medieval castle of the Dauphins, it was the subject of numerous projects that led to its transformation in the 19th century.

A very beautiful route from "La Vachette" to "Nevache."
Done by mountain bike without too much difficulty.
Returning down the road, plus a very nice single track.
