    Until Google map adds in the missing road, TURN RIGHT after going past Mini resto chez Paul. Anyway you’d have to pay entrance 2000cfa for each foreign tourist before continuing the way there. Nice view, not much left inside the castle but still worth a visit.

    2000 CFA entrance for foreigners, plus guide but not mandatory. The road to get here is a bit bumpy.

    It’s a beautiful place to visit. It’s a 2 hour drive from Lome to kpalime. We paid 500cfa as toll on the road and 5,000 cfa as tour an entry charge for 2. That is , 2,000 cfa per person and 1,000 cfa as tour guide rate The tour was less than 30 minutes and the rest was free time to take pictures. The chateau sits on top of a hill and overlooks the highest mountain in Togo . At your left side is lake Volta and Ghana ( kpando and Hohoe). A 1hr plus motor drive to Ghana . There are bed and breakfast hotels at the foot of the hill. You can lodge there and also get local food to have a good price The only problem was the language barrier. It’s a French country so keep in mind that their English is broken. That notwithstanding, our guide spoke soo well ( broken) and engaged us. It’s an advantage if you speak or understand ewe. You can visit nearby waterfalls when done with this tour . I had such a good time and willl entreate you visit soon.
