Lantern of the Dead

The Châtelus bridge spans the Thaurion. This bridge has the particularity of being built on the old bridge which is now underwater, due to the filling of the Étroit dam, which raised the water level in the Le Thaurion river. The small Châtelus beach is located a few meters from the bridge.
