The Pesteils castle



The Pesteils castle stands on an amazing spot, on a rocky headland overlooking the Cère valley. Owned by the same family since the thirteenth century, Pesteils has undergone a number of architectural transformations with exceptional harmony throughout the centuries.

The fifteenth century frescos, the eighteenth century painted ceilings and furniture, and the tapestries evoke the illustrious past of this seigniorial castle. The forty-meter high dungeon gives the opportunity to benefit from an unforgettable view on the Cantal mounts. The park and the terrace offer one of the most beautiful panoramas in the area.
