Château de Trancis stands in Ydes (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 19th century, first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Ydes, in the Cantal department, the château de Trancis owes its present appearance to an early 20th-century transformation: a plain 1830s bourgeois house was turned into a neo-Renaissance residence, complete with a polygonal stair tower and a gate tower topped by a campanile. Inside, ornate decoration by the sculptor Gourgouillon reflects the taste for lavish ornamentation typical of the period. The garden, with its terraces and folly, forms part of the protected ensemble.
