Col de la Loge des Gardes

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A beautiful pass in the Roannais Mountains, set against a forested backdrop. It's almost like being on a North American road, with wide roads and coniferous forests. The gradients up there aren't too steep. The views aren't particularly impressive, but the atmosphere is worth it.

Saint-Vincent Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Saint-Vincent rock is an imposing volcanic rock that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests and valleys.

It is a natural curiosity that dates back millions of years, when lava gushed out of a crack. Later, the sea receded and a tectonic movement lifted the lava, creating the impressive rock that stands today.

You can explore the ruins of an ancient castle that once crowned the rock and admire a statue of the Virgin and Child, called “Notre Dame de là-haut”, installed in 2012.

Chemin de la Ligue wind turbines

Highlight • Structure

At the crest of Chemin de la Ligue, the tops of the trees are not the only ones nourished by the wind. Here, you walk at the foot of the wind turbines. Immense, they impress as much by their size as by the monotonous sound they emit.
