The Chateau
is situated on the edge of the ancient royal forest of Randan and overlooks the
Allier valley with the Bourbonnais mountains as a backdrop. The Chateau is close
to the river Allier, and the towns of Vichy, Riom, Clermont-Ferrand and Thiers.
It is the ideal starting point for exploring the Auvergne. The Chateau stands in
57 hectares of parkland, far removed from the noise. You can stroll peacefully
through the woods, enjoy the swimming pools, one outdoor, and a heated indoor
pool with sauna and keep-fit room in the old vaulted cellar of the castle. A
little rowing boat is available for your use on the Chateau’s lakes. There are
bikes to visit the nearby countryside and for the children there are
playgrounds. Also in the grounds are a golf driving range and a horse riding
centre.
