A cylindrical keep was built to protect the village and the neighboring towns from attacks.
In 1212, when the fief of Montpeyroux was attached to the county of Auvergne following a gift from Philippe-Auguste, a cylindrical keep was built in order to protect the village and the neighboring villages from attacks. From the top of its 33 m, this tower was the strong point of the fortress. An inseparable element of the village which is classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, inhabitants and visitors have the chance to access it to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view.

Members' reviews on DONJON MÉDIÉVAL DE MONTPEYROUX
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Je le conseille vivement.
La visite du donjon est rapide et agréable. On peut retrouver un magnifique point de vue une fois en haut.
Le village en lui même est très mignon. Il y a plusieurs artisans très sympathiques et de nombreux endroits où se poser.
Cependant, attention en été cela doit être un four !

Visite du donjon magnifiques vues . Prix très correct de l'entrée et un guide très sympathique.
De jolies boutiques et restaurants au cœurs du village.
Les points négatifs.
Pas de table de pique-nique pour ceux qui le souhaite et pas de bancs a l'ombre.
