Castle retracing the history of the Marquis de La Fayette through a small theater reconstructed in the manner of the eighteenth century.

You're in the birthplace of the famous General Marquis de Lafayette (born September 6, 1757), and his spirit lives on in this home, where voices take you back in time and lights guide you into the heart of the château. In a small theater, watch a film retracing his American epic. A visit to the park, which has been awarded the Jardin Remarquable label, with its rose garden, English garden and open-air theater, is well worth the detour. A variety of activities offer a fun and dynamic way to discover the estate.

Très intéressant.
On découvre qui était le Marquis de Lafayette, pas obligatoirement apprécié de tous.
Mais un fervent défenseur de l'égalité et de la liberté des hommes.
Belle visite.
Les jardins n'étant pas à leur avantage sous la pluie en mai on pouvait seulement deviner leur beauté à la floraison !

FR : Non loin de Langeac, discrètement caché de la route reliant Le Puy à Brioude, le château de Chavaniac-Lafayette se dresse au cœur d’un joli village typique du coin. L’une des plus belles vues se découvre depuis la route menant au bourg. Ce château est le lieu de naissance du célèbre Marquis de Lafayette, héros de l’indépendance américaine et des révolutions françaises. Les pièces ouvertes à la visite sont soigneusement décorées, notamment les appartements de Madame de Lafayette. Le jardin vaut également le détour. En bref, un incontournable de la région à visiter, idéalement au printemps ! !
Le château propose aussi des animations tout au long de l’année : visites théâtralisées, fête des plantes… Pensez à consulter le programme avant votre venue.

EN : Not far from Langeac, discreetly tucked away from the main road connecting Le Puy to Brioude, Chavaniac-Lafayette Castle stands proudly in the heart of a charming village typical of the region. One of the most beautiful views appears as you approach the village.
This is the birthplace of the famous Marquis de Lafayette, hero of the American War of Independence and a key figure in both French Revolutions. The rooms open to visitors are carefully decorated, especially the apartments of Madame de Lafayette. The garden is also well worth a visit. In short, a must-see in the region — ideally in spring!
The castle also hosts a range of events throughout the year, including theatrical tours and a popular plant festival. Be sure to check the schedule before your visit.

Accueil au top. Le château est magnifique, pour les grands avec l'audioguide, pour les enfants avec le jeu. Le parc est superbe, avec des beaux points de vue sur le château.
