The visit to the castle is subject to a fee. For lack of time (and a bike lock) I didn't do it. You can see it quite poorly from the outside.

Departure from St Dolay for a short passage towards the Loire Atlantique and the magnificent Château de la Bretesche in Missillac, then heading towards the small town of character, La Roche Bernard, one of the smallest municipalities in France.

Park your bikes on Rue de la Plage or Rue de la Source, and walk down to admire the cliffs and the colours, especially at sunset.
