Le château en bref
The Château de Larguiès, on a plateau north of the village of Salles-Curan, near the Lac de Pareloup, is a large rectangular three-level residence, flanked by two diagonally placed round turrets and two square bartizans corbelled out on triple-stepped brackets. A fortified house (maison forte) is recorded on the site as early as the 14th century, but the present château was built at the end of the 16th century; its interior was extensively altered in the 19th century. Held successively by the Alazard (1546), Méjanès (c. 1555), Cassagne and then Gaston (1692–1787) families, it now belongs to the Roussel family. A former country residence (château de plaisance), it is now disused. It was listed (inscrit) as a historic monument in 1981.
