Fournels Castle

Highlight • Castle

Pretty modest-sized castle, it's a change from the big imposing castles, this one is almost like a large villa and it has its charm!

The village counts for its attractions among the "Small Cities of Character". The ubiquitous granite frame blends wonderfully with the natural setting of the Aubrac high plateau which hosts it.

Saint-Urcize stands at an altitude of 1,000 meters on basalt rock overlooking the Hère and Bès valleys, on the Aubrac plateau. The old houses, the narrow streets, the small squares with fountains, the remains of fortifications and the ruins of the old fort give the city its medieval character and attest to its very ancient origins.

The gray slate and schist roofs blend with the remarkable 12th century Romanesque church whose combed bell tower dominates the town. Its small bell dating from 1583 is said to be one of the oldest in France, and its ambulatory guarantees that the city was a stage in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the Middle Ages.
