The castle dominates the town and the confluence of the Issoire and the Vienne.

The first stones were laid in the 12th century, but the current configuration dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, many walls remain standing although the roofs and frames have disappeared.

In summer, you can enjoy certain activities taking place on the site.

At the entrance to St Germain we have a beautiful view of the castle. From the park next door, it is possible to swim in the Vienne and there is everything you need for a picnic.
