This magnificent building which became a fortified castle during the Hundred Years War can be visited. Located on a rocky promontory, it impresses. A little well-kept secret: it overlooks the Babory stream which flows into Lake Sailhant forming a very pretty waterfall. This visit, and this magical natural place, here are two good reasons to make a stopover in Andelat!

The name of Saint-Flour comes from Florus, a bishop who came to evangelize the region in the 4th century. The city, located on a volcanic promontory, is doubly protected by ramparts and fortified gates. In the 14th century, the city, due to its importance within the Cantal region, received the prestigious title of religious capital of Haute-Auvergne. The numerous buildings from this period are an integral part of the city and contribute to its beauty.

Like many castles in Auvergne, the Château du Sailhant is a magnificent medieval castle built on a basalt spur (remains of ancient lava flows).
