A marvel of our beautiful Bourbonnais mountains

Nassigny Castle is a 14th-century building. The passage of history over the centuries has caused it to suffer significant damage. After several renovations in the 16th and 19th centuries, nothing remains of the castle's original appearance.

The name Fourchaud seems to come from “Fourche”, as the Gallo-Roman road branched off there, coming from Bourges and leading either to Lyon or Clermont-Ferrand.

Montgilbert Castle is a ruined medieval fortress dating back to the 13th century. Visitors can explore the remains of the two concentric walls, the towers, the chapel, and the seigneurial residence, and imagine the lives of the lords and soldiers who inhabited this strategic site. The castle is located on a rocky hill overlooking the Vareille Valley and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Montgilbert Castle is open to visitors year-round and admission is free.

The keep of the former Bourbon palace is still standing today. Next to it, however, is the beautiful Anne de Beaujeu Pavilion, built at the end of the 15th century (1497 to 1503). It was built for Duchess Anne de Beuajeu (1461 - 1522, also Anne de France), daughter of King Louis XI - and was the first building in France to be designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance.

Very beautiful village with beautiful hikes to discover

The name Fourchaud seems to come from “Fourche”, since this is where the Gallo-Roman road which came from Bourges and went either to Lyon or to Clermont-Ferrand separated.
