Château de La Vigne is entirely furnished and owner-inhabited; it is a splendid example of the colourful and rich history of the Upper Auvergne. You will discover, among other treasures, a grand stair-case made of volcanic stone and no fewer than 10 rooms including a chapel and a Hall of Justice decorated with walls murals dating from the XVth and XVIth centuries. This castle is flanked by two rounds towers topped by pepper-pot roofs, and a square tower that served as a keep and to which, in the 18th century, a second building was attached : a watch-path runs around the top. |
 |
Inside, there are 16c frescoes on the walls and ceiling of the Salle de justice; other rooms are also tastefully appointed ( fine panelling; canopied bed with barleytwist columns; coffered ceiling). The 18c dining room has lovely tapestries, items of Delftware and a huge sideboard. The chapel, supported by ribbed vaulting, displays murals that represent Angels carrying the instruments of Passion. |

The grounds command pretty views of the Cantal mountains. The owners welcome you in person and offer 4 rooms with en-suite bathrooms /Showers and toilet . A suite is also available as well as a separate house located 50 meters from the castle. A tennis court is at disposal on the spot and of many sports activities or leisures can be applied to the neighbourhoods. |
| During your visit, you will also have the possibility to discover the Car Musuem where 3500 toys are presented to the kids as well as to their parents! |
