Small castle 🏰 but privately used.

Built on a rocky promontory at an altitude of 482 meters, the castle dates from the 12th century. The scene of numerous sieges during the French invasions, it was pillaged and then largely destroyed at the end of the 18th century. Purchased in 1980 by a lover of the site, Marcel Duthion, the building was completely restored over around fifteen years to regain its original silhouette.

Swimming in the Lavorel lake is very popular during the summer. Here you can swim and enjoy this place for a picnic. A path goes around the body of water.

The Roman roads of Revermont make it possible to make the connection between various cities and nearby ancient agglomerations (Bourg-en-Bresse, Coligny, Lons-le-Saunier). Difficult to date and little studied, this building was the subject of a vast restoration campaign in the 1980s carried out by volunteers, which today allows us to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. You can discover the traces left by the passage of wheels in the cobblestones and enjoy the shaded path that leads to the Montagna belvedere.
