Built by Vauban on a rock overlooking the town, this structure has been modified several times over the centuries. The first fortified medieval castle of the Dauphins, it was the subject of numerous projects that led to its transformation in the 19th century.

August 28, 2025,WTC Briançon Dag 5: Puy-Saint Vincent & route Ailefroide naar ‘Chalet Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle’.

Beautiful route. Passing the village of Les Vigneaux and the Croque Loisirs campsite (just past Puy-Saint Vincent). Vallouise is also a beautiful place.
I met Jaap in Vallouise, so we climbed to Chalet Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle together.
A steep climb: 8, 9, and 10% for the last 3 km.
