En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Boudieu, in Yolet in the Cantal, is mentioned as early as 1280 for its defensive strength. In the 15th century, during the conflicts linked to the English presence in Auvergne, major defensive reinforcements were made there; in the 16th century, it possessed one of the first fauconneaux (small pieces of artillery) in the province. A seigneurial residence and the administrative seat of the fief, it belonged successively to the marquis de Senergues, the lord of Lort, Cardinal de Noailles, then, around the Regency, in joint ownership to Jacques de Cébié and Pierre d'Estaing, before passing to Antoine de Fraissy (1742) and then to the marquis de Lentilhac until the Revolution. At the beginning of the 19th century, it became the property of M. Boutarel and then of the heirs of Dr Carrier-Dangeny. A private property, it is not open to visitors.
