The Fontariol castle


Extracts of the emission VIES DE CHÂTEAU on Clermont1
and produced by BETA PROD/TAXI PROD



The visit of the interior of this little chateau, unusual by the modesty of its architecture and interior helps us to bring back to life the habits and customs of older times. The commentary full of anecdotes and lively details, illustrated by the presentation of unusual old objects reminds the visitor of the old uses of a bed, of a table, the way of having a wash, of ladies fashion etc. After the kitchen and its hundred of copper pans, one discovers the collection of locks with its symbolism and Roman elements, and the visit cornes to an end under the framework of beams. Outside, one can have a look at the kitchen garden and its old types of vegetables, which helps complete this historical picture.
