Château de la Baume

Located at an altitude of 1200 meters in the Lozère region, this granite castle features thick walls and a long southern façade resembling Versailles Palace

First mentioned in 1275, the castle became a permanent barony in 1632 following the destruction of Château de Peyre and underwent major renovations in 1708

The interior displays a collection of 17th and 18th-century furniture, including mythological paintings, carved wooden doors, and the grand Régence style salon

The castle offers guided tours throughout the year, with daily access from 10 AM to 6 PM during peak season and advance reservations required in off-peak periods

The relocated 'Souvenirs' fireplace from Château de Chanac stands as a centerpiece in the dining room, connecting two historical properties of the region
