Do you love castles as much as we do?

Then you have come to the right place. After all, the Allier is the department with the second most castles. Many of these are privately owned. Castles in our area that are open to the public include:

​

• Château de Saint Aubin sur Loire in Saint Aubin sur Loire. In beautiful condition (recently completely restored, inside and outside) with beautiful garden, park and interior (58 km)

• Château Lapalisse (15 km) with beautiful woodwork and painted cassette ceilings ( plafond à caissons ) (since 1400 still owned by the original owners / family)

• Château Drée in Curbigny. In beautiful condition (inside and outside) with beautiful rose garden, park and interior, despite the distance (60 km) very worthwhile and excellent to combine with the Château of La Clayette , which is only 5 minutes away (exterior only).

• Château Busset (33 km) with complete interior and beautiful garden.

• Forteresse de Billy (35 km) real medieval castle in a nice village and here again.
