Chazeron Castle is located on the site of an ancient Gallic oppidum. This fortified place then saw the peak of its castle in the 11th century with the construction of the keep and 17 fortified towers.

A real roller coaster this route 😁 beautiful descents, including that of Chazeron, really great.
And obviously everything you go down you have to go back up. This is the principle of the loop 😁.
