The road isn't in perfect condition, but it's absolutely passable on a road bike. No problem at all.
On the other hand, if you're looking to visit a new castle, you'll be disappointed. This is a lively village (see photo), but if you're looking for medieval stonework, you'll have to pass.

La route n’est pas dans un état irréprochable mais elle est absolument praticable avec un vélo de route. Sans difficulté aucune.
Par contre, si vous cherchez à visiter un nouveau château, vous serez déçu. Ici, c’est un village vivant (qui annonce la couleur. Voir photo) mais pour les pierres médiévales, passez votre chemin.
La descente avec vue sur Les Orres est splendide.
