"Its objective was to monitor the Sioule valley and the Menat bridge, an important crossing point. A motte-and-bailey castle was built on the site in the 9th century. (Wikipedia). A must-see site, of course. Dangerous area (risk of falling rocks). This building has been reinforced, and still seems to be undergoing consolidation work. A few signs explain the role of the castle, as well as the project. Venturing beyond the barriers is a risk for you.

The Chouvigny gorges follow the Sioule river, which has carved a deep and narrow gorge through the volcanic rocks of the Combrailles region. You'll enjoy views of lush greenery, towering cliffs and the medieval Chouvigny Castle, which dates from the 13th century. You can also stop at the village of Chouvigny, which has a rich history and charming atmosphere.

The construction of the first castle of Pionsat dates back to the end of the 14th century, in the heart of the Hundred Years' War. It is probably the work of Guy Aubert, lord of Pionsat (and nephew of Pope Innocent VI), who applied Charles V's edict of 1367 on the fortification of the kingdom, to strengthen the defenses of the Auvergne against English raids. Over the centuries, the castle took the form of an enclosure with several towers (perhaps five) and a keep according to a fairly detailed plan of which there are still remains, in particular part of the main building and a tower. Since 1482, and the purchase by Jacques de Chazeron, first butler of King Louis XI, of the stronghold of PIONSAT where he built a square tower with a Gothic door in the courtyard.

The current Saint-Bravy church in Pionsat is quite recent. On the other side of the church square was an older church. This Romanesque church of Pionsat is only known to us from two lithographs. Because its strength was seriously doubted in the mid-19th century, it was decided to build a new one on land acquired by the municipality in August 1859. The current one was built in a neo-modern church using stones from the old church. Romanesque style and where the bell “Anne de Chazeron” was installed, presented in 1569 by Gilbert de Chazeron, lord of Pionsat and to whom the virtue of warding off storms is attributed. The Saint-Bravy Church was consecrated in August 1888.

Magnificent region. The banks of the Sioule as a walk to the bridge of Menat, also the castle of Veauce and the forest of Colettes. Made during the federal week of St POurcain sur Sioule, for me often starting from St Eloi les mines.
