    Sentry on the Regordan Way.

    True gateway to the High Cevennes at the foot of Mont Lozère, it is located on the outskirts of the Cevennes National Park, which was declared a World Heritage Site in June 2011 and defies more than 10 centuries of history.

    Built in the 11th century to protect the Regordane Way (today's GR 700), the castle of Portes is the marriage of a medieval fortress and a Renaissance bastion.
    Remarkable for its rich history and its atypical architecture, unique in Europe, it is classified as a historical monument.
    The spur which forms an angle of 42° constitutes its originality and earns it the nickname of "vessel of the Cevennes".
    It offers an unobstructed view at 32 meters high on the surrounding valleys and many possibilities of hiking in the surroundings.
