Châteaux

Auvergne has a particularly rich heritage of châteaux that are well worth visiting.
Built in the Middle Ages, then under the Dukes of Bourbon d'Auvergne and their vassals, these sentinels set high up on volcanic promontories and these lovely residences nestled in the Bourbonnais bocage bear witness to a prestigious past.
