Of the 146 castles we list in Cantal, these 76 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 76 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 62 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château d'Anjony (Anjony Castle) (open to visitors), Château du Sailhant (Sailhant Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Chateau du Jarrousset (with a restaurant), Château d'Alleuze (Alleuze Castle) (free entry) and Château des Ternes (Les Ternes) (206 reviews).

15 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 12 and the prices of 11 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 9 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 76 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
