Château de Couffour, Medieval castle ruin in Chaudes-Aigues, France.
The circular tower of Château de Couffour contains three upper floors with small circular rooms connected by a spiral staircase in a western turret.
The fortress was constructed in the 12th century when Blavia brought the land as a dowry to Falcon de Reveilhac, a noble from Gévaudan.
The first floor chamber displays 17th-century wall paintings featuring floral arrangements, portraits of women, and landscape scenes framed in rectangles.
The site operates as a hotel-restaurant with two Michelin stars under the direction of Serge Vieira, winner of the 2005 Bocuse d'Or.
The ground floor hall features a square layout with ribbed vaulting, contrasting with the circular design of the upper levels.
