In the south of Cantal, a castle from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Established in the center of its territory and isolated in a completely preserved environment free from any nuisance, the castle, fully classified as a historical monument, rises above the valley that marks the historical border between Haute-Auvergne and Rouergue. The main access is via the eastern side where there was likely an old drawbridge. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages when the site was just a keep surrounded by an enclosure of five to seven defensive towers. Today, only the first keep to the west survives from that time, a second tower built in the 15th century to the east, as well as one of the truncated defensive towers, surrounded by terraces and cleared spaces. The central living quarters, built during the Renaissance between the two square towers, features numerous bays on its southern facade with double windows divided by mullions and a sculpted decoration around the main entrance door. On the northern side, an additional wing was added in the 18th century. Inside, the layout of the rooms has not been modified. In addition to a monumental Italian staircase, the ground floor consists of an old low hall that now serves as a dining room, a small television lounge, two kitchens – the original one and a more recent one – as well as access to the cellars and a garage. The first floor includes an old lordly room, a small adjoining lounge, two bedrooms, and a bathroom with toilets. Access to the 18th-century part leads to a succession of three bedrooms with water points, a bathroom, and separate toilets. The second floor includes a large room known as the 'Queen's room', an office, two other bedrooms, and a bathroom with toilets. A halfway passage leads to a bathroom and the attic of the 18th-century part. The third floor consists of an exhibition room, followed by a spare bedroom, old service rooms, and an interior dovecote. A small staircase then leads to the attics with a large room under the framework and two chimneys. This is preceded by a chapel and the upper parts of the two towers. A caretaker's house and a pool are also located on the estate.
