Arlempdes is known for its magnificent site and its castle. From the top of its basaltic peak, the castle of Arlempdes is the first castle of the Loire. Its strategic position at the top of the Grand-Rocher made it, for centuries, an impregnable fortress. Only the small Romanesque chapel dedicated to Saint Jacques has really stood the test of time. The village, located in the heart of the first meanders of the Loire, is dominated by the volcanic peak (dyke) which serves as a pedestal to the ruins of the castle. The landscape is marked by surprising basaltic organs. Today, it is one of the four Most Beautiful Villages of France in the Haute-Loire.
