Château de Couffour

[1] The original 15th-century castle, with seven towers with conical roof, was witness to the importance of this place during the Hundred Years War.

On the first floor, one room still has 17th-century paintings where, on a background of bouquets of leaves and flowers, are inset portraits of women and landscapes in rectangular frames.

The French Revolution and the early 19th century were a period of decline; poorly maintained, the castle fell into disrepair.

Now the property of the commune of Chaudes-Aigues, Château de Couffour is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

[1] Since 2009, the castle has been a hotel-restaurant with 2 stars in the Michelin Guide, under Serge Vieira, winner of the Bocuse d'Or in 2005.
