A medieval fortress perched on a rocky outcrop, with a terrace offering a panoramic view of the surroundings

Perched on its rocky spur, the 12th century castle of Valon sits proudly on the Truyère gorges. Mentioned for the first time in 1150, this medieval fortress was occupied during the Hundred Years' War by the "routiers" who plundered the region. After the Revolution, the castle was no longer inhabited. An unshakeable witness to these distant times, the keep houses three superimposed rooms: you can go from one to the other by taking an amazingly narrow staircase. At the top, the terrace offers a panoramic view of the surroundings.

Un très beau château! Une vue à couper le souffle. Visite guidée fortement conseillée!Un guide extraordinairement passionnant, qui connaît l’histoire du château dans les moindres détails et qui a réussi à ramener le château à la vie le temps de la visite! Attention, château non accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite. Chiens acceptés. Prévoir de bonnes chaussures. Possibilité aux enfants et adultes de se vêtir gratuitement d’habits médiévaux pour la visite!
