14th century fortified house bearing the label "Maison des Illustres". This is where General La Fayette was born. The park, labeled "Remarkable Garden", is one of the few in Haute-Loire to be open to the public. chateau-lafayette.com

If in Auvergne there are several personalities who have marked history, the Marquis de Lafayette is one of the most important. Both a great craftsman in the American Revolutionary War and a leading figure during the French Revolution, the "hero of two worlds" was born and spent his childhood here. His story is obviously fascinating and you can walk around the castle to discover the environment in which he grew up but also visit the castle to learn more.

If history buffs choose to visit the castle, the more athletic can take advantage of the nature around the castle to run in the footsteps of the childhood of the “hero of two worlds”.
