About
Now restored and fully furnished, Chateau du Sailhant offers an historic tour through the garden/court, entry hall, dining room, salon, great hall, bedrooms, library, kitchen and chapel. Visits from April 1 to October 31. Chateau du Sailhant is a thousand year old chateau-fort located in the mountainous Auvergne region of central France. It stands on a dramatic triangular volcanic spur with one hundred-foot perpendicular cliffs on three sides overlooking a mystical sixty-foot waterfall that drops into a crater-lake formed from a prehistoric volcano. Accessible only on one moated side, the site has been occupied from the most remote of times.
