Château de Canac

Château de Canac is a Gothic and Renaissance castle in Onet-le-Château that now operates as a hotel with three guest rooms featuring original ceiling beams and monumental fireplaces dating from the 15th century. The building sits within a century-old park that frames its historical setting.

King Francis I visited the site, then called Canac Métairie, while traveling to Rodez in July 1533. This royal passage marks one of the significant early moments in the property's history.

The rooms are named after historical figures such as Eugénie and Marie Antoinette, linking guests to French heritage through the building's architectural design.

The property is located on Impasse de Canac and is reached via country lanes and unpaved tracks through the landscape. Visitors should expect a rustic approach and a private driveway leading to the castle entrance.

The property underwent a complete renovation by the Busset family starting in 2014, carefully balancing the preservation of its Gothic and Renaissance elements with the addition of modern guest amenities. This careful restoration work maintained the castle's historic fabric while enabling it to operate as a functioning hotel.
