Unfortunately, the restaurant in front of the ruins as well as the pizzeria and bar at the campsite were closed in the afternoon at the end of June.

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.
