Established in an old meander of the Doux, on a small rocky prominence, the castle of Retourtour is located in a valley floor that allowed it to control the route connecting the Rhône valley to Puy en Velay, via the Doux valley.
Likely built in the 10th century by the Pagan-Retourtour family, its name is derived from the Latin "Retortoris" because of the peninsula formed by the river.
