The Château d'Auzers, in the Cantal, was built in 1364, in the middle of the Hundred Years' War, like many of the strongholds still to be found in the area. It was the castle as children imagine it.
The castle as it can be seen today is very close to what it looked like in the early 16th century.
This castle already existed in 1228; Luce de Bort rebuilt it at the end of the 15th century, giving it its present look.
In the village of Anglards-de-Salers, this 15th-century château was the seat of a seigneury of the Montclar family.
A 15th-century château rebuilt by the lords of Scorailles facing a vast panorama, still furnished and lived in.
The château at Fontanges consists of a 14th-century square tower within a late 16th-century main building with two towers.
In a remarkable setting above a valley opening onto the Cantal mountains, the château has a 15th-century keep and a fine collection of Aubusson tapestries.
The fortress was built in the 15th century, with two large round towers and a polygonal stair turret.
