Nassigny Castle is a 14th-century building. The passage of history over the centuries has caused it to suffer significant damage. After several renovations in the 16th and 19th centuries, nothing remains of the castle's original appearance.

The castle of the Dukes of Bourbon was built in 1370 and then restored by Louis II of Bourbon. He made it his favorite residence. From the square, below, where you can have a coffee at the brasserie, you have a superb view of the castle.

Medieval town and gateway to Auvergne, marked by the Bourbons. It is dominated by an imposing castle, that of Louis II of Bourbon. Stroll through the medieval Saint-Pierre district, before taking a break on the lawns of the Wilson garden.

This hostel-hotel is located along the Berry Canal, with a large sunny terrace. It is right next to the train station and across from the Berry Canal Museum.
