Topo : Saint-Jean-de-Buèges Escalades, FFME 34, 2016. 52 pages. 16€
Saint Jean-de-Bueges is a picturesque medieval villagetowered by a reconstructed castle. The massive rock a hundred metres uphill offers two- and three pitch sport routes. Its south face holds long single pitch sport climbs. South of the village at the banks of the Bueges, La Calasse offers shady short climbs with quick approach.
As of 2020, some privately owned climbing areas may have restricted access. Check with https://www.ffme.fr/
Parking can be an issue within the tourist season. Leave your car south of the village or try the signposted "Escalade"-parking.
Park where indicated, take care of the environment, buy the local guidebook when possible (this is one of the ways you can help local route setters), clean up your shoes before climbing, don't spray beta, be polite.
