Château de Cordès, Medieval castle in Orcival, France

The Château de Cordès rises within a 9-hectare park that includes formal French gardens, a pond, and multiple outbuildings such as stables and a farmhouse.

Built in 1268 by Guillaume de Chalus, the castle remained in his family for four centuries until 1659 when Emmanuel d'Allègre acquired the property.

The castle interior displays a 16th-century Carrara marble altarpiece and contains the sculptured tomb of Yves II among its twelve bedrooms and reception halls.

Located 30 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand, visitors can contact the castle management at +33 6 59 87 94 82 to arrange tours of the property.

A five-meter-high hornbeam tree alley leads to the castle entrance, where two formal gardens feature water basins and a labyrinth with a rose garden center.
