Chateau de Vollore

Panorama and remarkable site translating the history of Auvergne

The castle of Vollore, for more than two centuries in the same family, is the residence in Auvergne of the descendants of General Marquis de La Fayette, who welcome their guests there as friends. The Château, the oldest parts of which date from the 12th century, offers lounges with refined décor, a considerable amount of period furniture and also numerous family heirlooms which relate in particular to General de La Fayette and the American War of Independance. The Château is set in an outstanding location, with fantastic views of the Auvergne Mountains, la Limagne and la Dore, and is surrounded by terraced grounds.
