Chateau d'Uriage
★★★★☆
This 13th century castle has known major renovations in the 15th, 17th and 19th centuries.
After serving as a training school for the Vichy regime in 1940-42, it was seized by the local resistance (Free French Forces) during WWII and maintained by the French army after the war.
It is a privately owned property since the 1970s, when it was bought and transformed into smaller individual apartments.

A sublime, little known place, that has a splendid 360 view overlooking the valley where Uriage (a small thermal town) lies at the foot of the castle.
