Beautiful old bridge. The bridge's base is completely paved with cobblestones.

"Its objective was to monitor the Sioule valley and the Menat bridge, an important crossing point. A motte-and-bailey castle was built on the site in the 9th century. (Wikipedia). A must-see site, of course. Dangerous area (risk of falling rocks). This building has been reinforced, and still seems to be undergoing consolidation work. A few signs explain the role of the castle, as well as the project. Venturing beyond the barriers is a risk for you.

The promontory on which the Rocher castle is perched allows you to enjoy a dominating view of the gorges and valleys of the Sioule.
