Port-Sainte-Marie Charterhouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The Chartreuse de Port-Sainte-Marie is a former monastery of the Carthusian order founded in 1219. You can explore the ruins of the ancient buildings, which are listed as historic monuments, and discover the rich cultural and economic influence of the monks in the region. You can also admire the landscapes of the Sioule valley, which is part of the Natura 2000 network, and discover the diversity of the region's flora and fauna. The site is open to visitors from Easter to All Saints' Day and offers guided tours, games, workshops and cultural events.

Montfermy Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Montfermy waterfall is in fact not a natural waterfall since it is a penstock dug by the monks on a meander of the Sioule for the installation of a mill.

Nice weather, hot weather, wet weather! Lots of fallen trees on the trail, not yet removed, just to go around... Nice and refreshing hike, to do in this direction, too much elevation gain on tarmac in the other direction, not interesting
