The Viaduct of Pélussin
Lower down in Pélussin, discover the Viaduct of Pélussin. With its 170 meters long and its 65 meters high, the viaduct of Pélussin is impressive. Above the “Régrillon”, a small train called “la Galoche” made the trips between St-Etienne and Maclas until 1931. From now on, it is possible to reach this viaduct by foot or by bike. For the adrenaline and thrill seekers, you can also try bungee jumping. So, are you ready to make the big jump? 🙂
