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!

To visit the factory you have to cross the bridge and drive back a bit. Unfortunately the exhibition and cafe were closed during our visit.

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.
