In the village of Tournemire, this 15th-century fortified castle stands with its keep flanked by four round towers, remarkably preserved since it never endured a siege. Inside, visitors can see 16th-century frescoes depicting the Nine Worthies, along with a chapel painted with scenes from the Passion. A more austere 18th-century basalt residence, with Louis XV-style woodwork and fireplaces, completes the estate.
