This week in the agenda

Château de Bisseret stands in Lavault-Sainte-Anne (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century, third quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Lavault-Sainte-Anne, in the Allier department, the Château de Bisseret stands with its four corner towers surrounded by water-filled moats. The former keep, now the entrance pavilion, lost its drawbridge in 1840 when it was replaced by a two-arched bridge, though the vaulted passage leading to it remains. Inside, the dining room and main salon retain 18th-century wood panelling, a herringbone parquet floor, painted ceilings imitating marquetry, and Felletin tapestries.
