The view from the bridge over the river is interesting, with the village on one side and the rugged, vertical rock face on the other!

At the beginning of the path there is only this easily overlooked stone sign pointing to the grotto. A mountain bike route starts at the same place. Next to it, a smaller trail branches off to the right, which leads to the grotto

Fontenoy-le-Château actually has many interesting old buildings, which unfortunately are mostly in a state of disrepair. The old church, however, is in a well-renovated condition.

The imposing building is located on a huge fenced-in property right next to the canal. Is it really a "chateau"? I couldn't find anything about it.
