The property is an old inn whose activity dates back to the 17th century, as recalled by the dedication still visible in the courtyard: 'Chambe cadet aubergiste, loge à pied et à cheval'. It is located within the perimeter of the motte castrale of the original 11th-century castle, which has since disappeared, more precisely on the vallum, the defensive boundary of the enclosure. From the street, the facade appears as an imposing rampart, which can be crossed through a carriage door to reach the lush inner courtyard. To the right, a short staircase leads to the main living quarters, adjacent to the terrace, shaded by a kiwi tree. It is raised over two levels: the ground floor includes the living areas, and on the first floor, there are convertible attics, surmounted by a dovecote. To the left, the inn, in its original structure, reveals itself behind a vaulted stone door. The hayloft, on the first floor, is accessible by an external staircase. At the back of the courtyard, an open shed, a storage space topped by a mezzanine, is accessible from the terrace via a walkway. A set of three cellars, one of which is vaulted in the typical winegrower style of Auvergne, completes the property.This description has been automatically translated from French.

In Auvergne, in one of the "most beautiful villages in France", a Renaissance-style residence with its tower and inner courtyard. The property, built in an L-shape, reveals itself at the end of a village street, beyond its walled courtyard. It stands three levels high under a hipped roof and serves as a testament to the traditional architecture of Usson, characterized by buildings constructed from prismatic blocks derived from the basalt columns overlooking the town. The frames of the openings are made from arkose, a light sandstone type, quarried locally, or crafted in bricks. The harmony of materials is accentuated by the vermilion red of the cornices resting on corbels.
