RUIN OF CASTLE

Castle

in LUC

The Château de Luc is a must-see site offering an unforgettable visit—immerse yourself in the Middle Ages.

Discover the remains of this castle, situated on the Régordane Way—a route where Robert Louis Stevenson stopped in the 19th century. It occupies a strategic position on the border between Gévaudan (Lozère) and Vivarais (Ardèche), overlooking the Allier Valley.

The village of Luc is one of the oldest inhabited places in Languedoc. You can observe a distinctive stone arrangement on the building: this type of masonry is known as *opus spicatum*, or “herringbone” stonework. On-site information panels allow you to learn all about its history.
