The Besorgues River , dammed by basalt flows, has sculpted spectacular natural sites. Near the castle, it has exposed beautiful cliffs that bear witness to its turbulent geological history. Don't miss the ancient lava lake of Ranc Ranier and the prismatic neck of the Cheylard rock , two fascinating geological wonders. With its steep drop, the Besorgues is also a dream playground for canyoning enthusiasts.

After a break in the welcome shade of the centuries-old linden tree facing the neo-Romanesque church (whose altar is a listed historical monument), continue your walk to the hamlet of Freyssenet . This little corner of paradise reveals a mill, a traditional oven, and a 19th-century chapel. Curious walkers can end their outing at the Pissarelle waterfall and its ingenious network of irrigation channels.
