Northeast of Broût-Vernet, in the Allier department, the château de Lafont stands in a neoclassical style at the center of an English-style garden. The main building, dating from 1817, was later extended in the following decades with two side wings, while four twin pavilions mark the entrances to the park. Inside, a hall with fluted columns and Ionic capitals leads to a grand salon whose marquetry floor forms a rosette pattern, beneath a curved timber frame of a type rarely found in the region.
