FRANCE - PUY-DE-DOME - RANDAN - CASTLE

Built on the foundations of a 13th-century Knights Templar Commandery that was destroyed in the early 19th century, architect Pascal Lepaige began building a hunting lodge in 1830, which Honoré Vianne extended into a full-blown château in 1890. In a dominant position between Vichy and Clermont-Ferrand, set in 15.3 hectares of woods and meadows with 2 ponds, this imposing castle in perfect condition harmoniously combines the memory of the past with the charm of the present. A neo-Gothic building combining civil and medieval military architecture: crenellations, machicolations, watchtower, etc., the castle is fully protected as a Historic Monument. The 1,700m² grounds offer a large number of bedrooms, all with en suite facilities, and large, beautiful lounges with unique wood panelling. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Helistation. Golf driving range.
