The peak of Charlus

Charlus: one of the most important fortresses of the Haute-Auvergne region. To this day, only a few sections of wall remain, along with a cross marking the entrance to the castle's ancient chapel.
The first references to Charlus date back to well before the year 1000, and the history of its successive owners ends at the dawn of the 19th century. The site offers a vast panorama from the Gorges de la Dordogne to the Monts du Cantal, well worth the effort of climbing to the summit. There is a hiking trail to help you get to know the site: PR 22: Le Pic de Charlus. Free access all year round.
