The Chateau de Valon
The chateau de Valon has dominated the Truyère Gorges since the 12th century. Ancient trees worthy of the finest illuminations; the chapel symbol of silence and peace; the keep seen at its best from the inner courtyard.
The chateau has three fine halls one above the other. An amazing staircase that has survived the centuries undamaged gives you access to the terrace. The view over the Truyère Gorges is stunning.

A King of tall stories, a King of trinkets, a King of fairyland ...
Children will be delighted by Little King Titus and his court, hiding in strange places.
This tiny world is floating there all around you."
