Nice view over the Plaine du Forez. This historic site is said to be the tomb of Belizar, a character in the novel Astrée written by Honoré d’Urfé.

The monastery was built in the 8th century in cinder stones. The current buildings have been restored. They date from the 15th century. The whole is made up of the church (12th and 15th centuries), the Prior's dwelling, the gallery (15th century), the vaulted cellar (13th century) and the chapter house.

This Casadean priory (congregation of La Chaise-Dieu) stands on a basaltic peak in the heart of the Forez plain. The peak offers a magnificent 360° view of the Monts du Forez and the Monts du Lyonnais.

Apart from the fantastic view, it is something special to spend the night in the old walls.

This very well restored old monastery now serves, among other things, as a hostel for pilgrims and hikers.
