Château d'Effiat with terrace, central staircase, formal gardens and labyrinth, hosting exhibitions and events.

The château is part of an ambitious project initiated by Antoine Coiffier Ruzé d'Effiat, friend of Richelieu and advisor to King Louis XIII. It is surrounded by 120 hectares of formal gardens and a plant maze. Access is via a large Volvic stone gate, followed by a beautiful avenue of lime trees leading to the courtyard. The building features a terrace, two central staircases with views of the Chaîne des Puys, and two water features with fountains. The venue hosts exhibitions and is also available for hire for various events.

Ancienne école militaire, le château en a gardé son église royale. Elle a été notamment l'école de Général Desaix qui a suivi Napoléon Bonaparte dans les guerres révolutionnaires jusqu'en Egypte. Le château est à visiter car son histoire fait partie intégrante de la grande histoire.

A beautiful castle! The lord of the manor will not hesitate to take time you can tell the castle's history! The park is worth a visit, it is magnificent!
