The castle goes back to the 11th century, but today’s buildings are mostly from the 15-17th century.

Fun fact: The castle was the ancestral seat of the Estaing family, but the family lost it in the early 19th century. The former French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing bought the castle back in 2005.

    This is really neat. There’s a totally different feel when the castle is set inside a town instead of on a bunch of open land.
