The 17th-century Château de la Roche, with its tower and keep, is the landmark of the Loire Gorge. Its atypical location in the heart of the Loire River makes it an exceptional sight.

The church dates back to the 19th century and was restored in 1998. It is dedicated to Saint Taurin. The bell tower resembles a square defensive tower. Columns separate the vaults, and the choir is circular.

Beautiful, well-preserved church with large stained glass windows. Pilgrims can get their pilgrim passport stamped in this church.

The port of Bully is a pretty marina on the banks of the Loire. In this nautical base you can have a drink, rent a kayak or a pedal boat. The setting is unparalleled!
