Tip by

6.74 km

One of the many votive chapels that dot the Guillestrois and bear witness to the harsh living conditions. Saint Sebastian is prayed for to fight against epidemics and in particular the plague which is ravaging at the time. Site visible outside.

The Eygliers Tower

Highlight • Castle

Here is one of the towers of the walled enclosure of Guillestre. Construction work was underway in 1397 when the tower collapsed on itself due to poor workmanship. Ironically, this is the best-preserved tower of the old fortification today !. Site closed.

Guillestre Castle fortified enclosure

Highlight • Other

Castle present since the 13th century, nothing remains, even if writings attest to its presence. On the other hand, towers and fortifications make it possible to realize, even now, what could have been fortified Guillestre and the protective role it played at that time. Site visible outside.

Rue des Masques

Highlight • Canyon

Between the Milaure plateau and the Simoust plateau is a canyon. Here you can admire the Titan's hand, a geological curiosity shaped like a hand. Legend has it that on Christmas Eve, at the stroke of midnight, the rocks open into a cave full of gold made by wizards, who hide and lose their power that night. So everyone can take their load of gold, but you must be out before the last blow strikes or you will remain prisoner with the treasure.
