Castle, stronghold of the lords of Montpeyroux, one of the most powerful of Rouergue, educational and playful visit with history and legends

Bousquet is a castle of another time, that struggles and wars have forced men and landscapes to dominate. In the th or th centuries, it was the stronghold of the Lords of Montpeyroux. Today, when the aisle leads to the building, we quickly imagine its history. The heavy, massive architecture recalls that Le Bousquet was probably one of the most beautiful, but also one of the most powerful fortresses of the Rouergue. Almost unscathed, the castle proudly displays its defensive assets: six créneaux and machicolated towers and a tiered round road on two levels; thick walls and few rare openings… The visit thus combines history and legends, like that of this discovered couple wall in its habits clothes… A discovery that is both educational and playful… For those who do not fear ghosts.

Le château est intéressant en soit, son origine et son histoire sont mals connues. Les pièces sont meublées avec des meubles de toutes les régions de France et de tous les siècles, si historiquement c'est parfois anachronique, ça donne une idée de la dimension des pièces. Le propriétaire qui fait la visite parle beaucoup trop et se répète. Ce qui pourrait être fait en 45min./1h, a duré 2,5 heures (beaucoup trop long à mon goût).

Château fort, impressionnant et habité dont la visite se fait par le passionné propriétaire lui même.
