The castle is located in a park on the southwestern edge of the town of Jozerand, west of the main street which separates it from the town center (church, town hall). It overlooks the valley of the Coinches stream, a tributary of the Morge. From the castle, situated on the first heights of the Auvergne Combraille, the view extends widely to the south, from the Chaîne des Puys on the right to the Limagne plain on the left.

This arched bridge spanning the Sioule River at Ébreuil is made up of five arches. It was first built in the 19th century, before being rebuilt after a flood swept it away.

Saint Martin's Church in Jenzat is a Romanesque church, built in the 10th and 11th centuries, famous for its 15th century frescoes which depict scenes from the Passion of Christ, the life of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and the prayers of the common people after the Black Death. You can admire the colorful and expressive paintings on the walls of the nave, as well as the geometric patterns on the vaults of the apse. The information panel located outside the church allows you to learn more about the history and architecture of the church.

Magnificent region. The banks of the Sioule as a walk to the bridge of Menat, also the castle of Veauce and the forest of Colettes. Made during the federal week of St POurcain sur Sioule, for me often starting from St Eloi les mines.
