The La Batisse castle
Inhabited
castle and park classified "historic buildings"
At the foot of the famous Gergovie's plateau, on the green banks of a river, as beautiful as an engraving, La Batisse stands surrounded by French-style gardens, designed by Le Nôtre. With its ornamental lakes and its foutain-basins, the charm of its rocky caves and its maze of hedges, its famous path leading to four water-falls, La Batisse and the park together form a harmonious ensemble.
Built between the XVth to the XVIIIth centuries, the interior offers the visitors a view of a beautiful suite of appartments decorated with frescoes and tapestries, and interesting pieces of XVIth, XVIIth and XVIIIth century furniture.
The studio of the Auvergnat painter, Jean de Chasteauneuf, uncle of the present owners, is open to the public where a good collection of his paintings can be seen.
