Built in the 18th century, thanks to Gabriel Mercier, the Portabéraud estate reflects the personality of its sponsor and the aspirations of an era. The artistic follies of an Auvergne aristocrat, Gabriel Mercier, gave rise to this elegant residence. The garden is a plant setting for a surprising staging of an exceptional set of terracotta statues. Paid entry Information and programme 06 11 60 67 05
