Beautiful castle, close for the siesta

nice picnic place

Its name suggests that it was considered a sacred spring, and it must have been the destination of a procession from the nearby church, along with the statue of the saint. It is said that the priest blessed the water directly from the fountain, which would then fill the holy water font. No evidence of its healing properties seems to have survived. Further down, 50 meters, is a rather impressive pool, surely fed by the fountain.

The castle, which once dominated the Dordogne valley from a rocky outcrop, has stood since 1952 on a headland that juts out into the Barrage de Bort-les-Orgues reservoir. The original character of the castle can only be guessed at when the water level is low. The multi-storey building is surrounded by five towers of roughly the same thickness and one thinner one, each with overhangs and conical roofs. The individual floors are connected by a spiral staircase in the vestibule. The inner courtyard was originally roofless. The first floor consists of three large rooms with decorated fireplaces from the mid-19th century and various furniture. An art exhibition with works by painters, mostly from the region, takes place every year on the second floor. The artistically crafted roof trusses of the towers can be seen from the battlement on the top floor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Val

Pleasant path on the Cantal banks of the dam. Possibility to make a short loop from the castle going up on the Monteil or to extend to the Siauve for a longer loop.

Yes ; a very beautiful castle which was saved from being engulfed ...... like some villages and chapels! It was sold to Bords les orgues by EDF for a symbolic 1 franc! He is magnificent.

Extremely calm place at the confluence of the Dordogne and one of its tributaries, at the most upstream point of the reservoir of the Bort-les-Orgues dam. Once at the bottom, you have to go back up and the coast towards Confolent-Port-Dieu offers a nice drop in altitude and fairly high percentages for lovers of short and dry climbs.

Nice quiet place for a picnic.
