Château de Ravel, Medieval castle in Ravel, France
The castle stands on elevated ground with towers from the feudal period and an 18th-century western wing overlooking the Limagne countryside.
Construction of the castle began in 1171 under Bernard de Revel, and Philip III of France acquired it in 1283 before transferring it to chancellor Pierre Flotte.
The genealogy room displays portraits of the d'Estaing family, while the music room features decorative panels depicting various musical instruments.
Access to the castle requires following a narrow 1.3-kilometer road from Ravel village, with parking available near the entrance.
The Salle des Etats contains remarkable terracotta tiles decorated with historical coats of arms from different periods.
