You should definitely stop here to admire the views of Château de Buron, a ruined medieval castle perched on a volcanic peak. The castle was built in the 13th century and was once a stronghold of the counts of Auvergne. It was destroyed by fire in the 18th century and today only the surrounding wall and four round towers remain. You can access the castle by following a marked path from the village of Buron. It will take you around 30 minutes to reach the summit. From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Allier valley and the surrounding mountains. The castle is also a great place for bird watching, as you may be able to see birds of prey such as buzzards, kestrels or even eagles. Buron Castle is a place where you can immerse yourself in the past and admire the beauty of the present.
