Monuments to visit Puy-De-Dôme

Bought by the municipality in 1876, the building housing the town hall was once a convent welcoming the nuns of Saint-Ursule. The statue of Michel from the Hospital stands in the courtyard. The stone stairs of Volvic are modern construction. Its belfry, built in 1771, houses a jacquemart to three characters of the th century and the old bells of Notre-Dame church.

For a long time the castle perched in Montaigut dominates its high silhouette in the Couze-Chambon valley. The th century imposant tower flanked by its th-century stair turret has just regained its lustre. In the early seventies the dungeon threatens to collapse and the last owners do not want to repair. In 1975 the castle is redeemed by a clermontois architect who unfortunately dies before his restoration work is completed. The Sauvadet family then takes over and completes the restoration of the dungeon in which the guest rooms are installed by a beautiful vis staircase finished by a vault with the lion of the Montaigut. On the other hand, there are only a few remains of the large fortified polygonal enclosure, but we note the good state of the eastern door of the village, although there are only two corbeaux in support of the machicolated that protected it.

It is around 1827 that La Bourboule has its first hotels, but starting in 1860 the real transformation began. The first hotel to be built is the Grand Hotel de l'Etablissement, next to the thermal Baths. The old Palace Hotel was built Avenue avenue near the same time. Hotel Métropole, work of Teillard, Hotel des Iles britanniques de Gradin, Hotel Richelieu will follow.

It was built on the location of the Duke of Berry Palace at the beginning of the th century, when the court of appeal came to Riom. Degeorge raised a fairly austere building in neoclassical style, with a courtyard lined with arcades. The double-ramp inside staircase depends on its dimensions.

Built towards 1530-1550, it has a very beautiful inner courtyard with corbel staircase decorated with a annunciation and four medallions representing the cardinal Virtues.
