Château de Cordès

The Château de Cordès is a castle situated in the commune of Orcival, in the Puy-de-Dôme département of France.

His son, Yves de Tourzel, the marquis d'Allegre, who became a marechal of France in 1724, rebuilt it and transformed it into a residence, and in 1695, commissioned the workshop of Le Nôtre to lay out the garden.

The château has been listed since 1933 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

The interior of the castle contains a Carrara marble altarpiece dating from the 16th century and the sculptured tomb of Yves II.

The castle is approached through an alley of hornbeam trees five meters high, with two formal gardens with basins, surrounded by hedges.
