Nonnesette Castle, built on this hill overlooking the Couze Valley, was destroyed by Richelieu in the 17th century. You can still see the remains of the towers, gates, and walls, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

A worthwhile place! Small, quiet. Neat slope for cyclists. Castle ruins can be seen at the top of the hill. Great view.
