Peyrat-le-Château

Highlight • Other

This small, vibrant village with a Gallo-Roman past, called Peyrat-le-Fort in the Middle Ages and then Peyrat-la-Montagne during the Revolution, will reveal many surprises. The village is built around the beautiful 15th-century pond (unsupervised beach, children's playground, fishing). Its exceptional architectural heritage; lovers of the Middle Ages and history will be dazzled by its 14th-century church dedicated to Saint Martin, its Square Tower, and its Resistance Museum, which bears witness to the actions of the Resistance fighters during the Second World War.
