View of Busseol castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Busséol, built in 1170 on a volcanic dyke is a fortified castle overlooking the Limagne. It is the oldest and most historic of the County of Auvergne. Placed to defend the access to Vic le Comte. It belonged to several kings and queens of France. He resisted the assaults of the soldiers during the Hundred Years War. Spared by Richelieu, it was inhabited until the Revolution.
Restored from 1966, the current owner presents during the opening to the public, an exceptional circular fireplace, furniture and weapons and armor evoking feudal life. The visit ends on the covered way which leads to a "singular" medieval garden.

August 24, 2024,Boucle Entre la falaise et l'Allier – Rives de l'Allier au départ de Pont du Château

Short outing to get your bike ready after two weeks of being off the bike.
Nice rolling trail, without difficulty, on the banks of the Allier.
Quite busy, so be careful on some narrow sections.
