About

Fortress perched on its basalt promontory.
Visiting the castle is both fun and historic, it's a promise of time travel for young and old. Come and discover the court of Guillaume in 1423.

Stroll through the various reconstructed rooms of the castle and scenographic spaces in the company of costumed characters and discover life at the court of Guillaume de Murol in 1423. Set off to attack the castle in the company of horsemen who will take you on wild equestrian jousts. Make your children real little knights thanks to a military training placed under the sign of good humor. Learn the know-how of the craftsmen of yesteryear at the bend of the medieval vegetable garden and finally, take to the heights on the walkway while contemplating an exceptional 360° panorama on the Sancy massif and the other surrounding landscapes.
