Château de Lavoûte-Polignac
43800 Lavoûte-sur-Loire
- Haute-Loire
- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Castle of the twelfth and fourteenth centuries remodeled in the seventeenth and restored in the nineteenth. Houses collections and souvenirs related to the famous House of Polignac.
The Duke of Polignac prides himself - rightly - on owning the first castle of the Loire. And what a castle! Forget Blois and Chambord.

From the terrace of the first floor, where one plunges at peak on the Loire, 45 meters below, one sees the herons and sheep, peaceful at the edge of the water.

Visiting the castle in his company is a strange aristocratic journey through time. My grandmother, the Duchess of Polignac, was the great friend of Marie-Antoinette an
