Château de Cols

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Cols, a hamlet and former fief on the outskirts of Vic-sur-Cère in the Cantal, belonged from 1355 to the de Cère family, before passing by marriage to the de La Vaissière family – several lords named Jean de La Vaissière married between 1400 and 1576 – and then to the Dumas, de Comblat and Boisset de La Salle families. Attested in the 14th century, the castle was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. It is renowned for its hanging gardens, overlooked by a wild wood and a veritable cliff of vertical rock, combining a French formal garden and an exotic garden around a pool treated as a water parterre.
