Collonges-la-Rouge Village

Highlight • Settlement

A magnificent old town in which buildings are made with local red stone. The town is known as the city of the 25 towers. Lots of craftsmen, restaurants, shops... A bit crowded, but very pleasant to walk around the small streets looking at the turrets, doors, old constructions...
