Tips from the Community

Pretty long pass on the Tarare side with a constant slope around 5%. Delimits the watershed line between the Rhône and the Loire. Do not hesitate to climb to Mont Boussuivre by extending a few hundred meters and climb to the top of the Matagrin tower to enjoy a magnificent view of the whole region.

Fortified medieval village. You can still see three emblematic fortified towers at the gates of the village: the Magna Porta Tower, the Egg Tower and the Cotton Tower.

This medieval village is located on the edge of the Forez plain. It is a Cluniac site where you can still see beautiful remains, including old ramparts. A real journey through time!
