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

In Yolet, in the Cantal region, the château du Doux presents a neo-classical façade with the look of a Palladian villa, built around 1850 by the Pollalion de Glavenas family on land once held by the Sales du Doux. Its attic storey and compact layout stand out, though part of the central block has since been lost. Facing the château is a troubadour-style chapel, the burial place of Duke Louis-Félix de La Salle de Rochemaure, an Occitan writer and notable figure of the Cantal. Both buildings, including their interior decoration, have been listed as historic monuments since 1992.
