Tips

January 10, 2023

If in Auvergne there are several personalities who have marked history, the Marquis de Lafayette is one of the most important. Both a great craftsman in the American Revolutionary War and a leading figure during the French Revolution, the "hero of two worlds" was born and spent his childhood here. His story is obviously fascinating and you can walk around the castle to discover the environment in which he grew up but also visit the castle to learn more.
