CHATEAU D'ARTIAS
Go there and contact
One of the oldest in the Velay region serving as a reception and exhibition area, and a botanical garden with medicinal plants.
Situated on its rocky spur (723 m) at the center of the Miaune and Madeleine mountains, Château d'Artias towers above the meandering Loire. Known as far back as the late 10th century, it is one of the oldest castles in the Velay region. Today, only the remains of a tower remain. The Romanesque chapel was built in the 12th century, and the entrance gate dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. Numerous events all year round. A visitor centre houses many of the medieval artefacts found on the site and hosts exhibitions of contemporary objects. Visit the botanical garden and, below, the bailiff's house and renovated well. Recent renovations and installations include the bread oven rebuilt in dry stone, the garden of remembrance, the preservation of the Chapelle Saint-Denis and the orientation table. Allow around 1h30 for the visit.
