The stables are easy to miss, yet they are remarkable. The view from the castle is also very beautiful.

The Via Ardeche railway cycle path is a nice idea in itself, but unfortunately, the perfect surface (asphalt) is only present in the tunnel sections. The rest is rough concrete, gravel, and even worse. It's pleasantly cool in the tunnel.

The Doulovy viaduct is one of the three largest viaducts in the Cévennes. Built in 1876, it was once used to transport coal by train.
