To make a day of it
Château de La Caze stands in Laval-du-Tarn (Lozère), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, fourth quarter of the 15th century, first half of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the Tarn gorges, between La Malène and Sainte-Énimie, the Château de La Caze has stood by the river since the 14th century with its towers overlooking the water. The building, altered over the centuries, still holds in its south-west tower a painted cabinet from the 17th century known as the nymphs of the Tarn, decorated with eight portraits of women in medallions. A local legend links this decoration to the eight daughters of Soubeyrane Alamand, who commissioned the original construction. The site now operates as a hotel, which shapes what can actually be seen by visitors.
