Take a stroll through the narrow streets

Perched on its rocky outcrop, Châteauponsac looks like a small medieval pearl, with its cobbled streets, old houses and postcard panoramas. Here, you can stroll with your nose in the air, admire the details of the old stonework, cross the “Roman” bridge and let yourself be carried away by the peaceful atmosphere of the village.

Don’t miss the recently restored church of Saint-Thyrse, then let yourself be surprised by the view from the ancient promontory, where the valley opens up before your eyes 🤩

And the best part? It’s that the center can be discovered on foot, stress-free, and at your own pace.
