Tourist Information and places to visit

Your first glimpse of Arlempdes will take your breath away - the ruined castle on a rocky outcrop, and the beautiful valley below combine to make a very lovely view. Arlempdes has two principal highlights:

- the chateau, which is open for guided visits in the summer. Sitting on the cliff above the small village, the 12th century chateau is now a ruin. It is especially worth visiting for the fine panoramic views it provides;

- the magnificent setting on a rocky outcrop over the upper reaches of the Loire River (the source of the river is just 30 km further).

The little chapel and the Roman style church in the village merit a visit.

Arlempdes itself is very small, and becoming increasingly prettified / renovated in recent years, and is now largely dependent on tourism for its income.

It won't take you long to explore - try and arrive around lunchtime so you have an excuse to have lunch in the restaurant at the entrance to the village, or have a picnic in the valley below.

The town is also gaining a reputation for the theatrical events that are held in the courtyard of the chateau for a week each summer - the 'Festival de théâtre d'Arlempdes'.

The countryside around the village is very attractive, with volcanic rock appearing dramatically from the landscape of valleys, streams and rivers.
