Castle, former bastion of the counts of Auvergne in the 12th century, decorated with a flamboyant gothic style, kitchens and outbuildings to visit.

A former stronghold of the Counts of Auvergne in the late 12th century, the château became part of the royal domain in the 13th century, before being passed down to a number of prominent families from the 14th century onwards. Hugues de La Roche was responsible for the imposing circular keep, while his descendants enriched the château with beautiful flamboyant Gothic decoration. The tour reveals the castle's complex architecture, with two keeps, a surrounding wall and a main building built around a courtyard. You can also explore the winery, kitchens, outbuildings and part of the living quarters.

Super expérience. Nous avons aimé le château qui est en cours de restauration et qui permet de visiter plus que de simples ruines. Merci au propriétaire pour cet effort pour restaurer au mieux l'histoire de notre patrimoine.
Prix abordable compte tenu de ce qu'on voit et le fait qu'on a un guide pour la visite.
Merci à notre guide qui a su répondre à nos questions en plus de connaître l'histoire du château. Le plus de ce château, sa salle des objets exotiques. ????.
Pensez a voir les horaires de visite pour ne pas a avoir a attendre.
