http://www.saint-floret.frA 12 km from Issoire on the road 26 in direction of Besse-district, appears a village out of a postcard: Saint-Floret. Surrounded by rocks, it looks like these villages in the South where the light is to take different forms depending on the season. Saint-Floret can be proud of a past where history has left its marks. Climbing up the alley on the road to Clemensat is a feudal Castle from the 13th century. A beautiful door opens on a Knight's Hall. If time worked to the destruction of the murals, he let discover 13 paintings (on 40 originally) retracing the romance of Tristan and Iseult. Among the characters recognized King mark, Palamedes, Tristan of Leonois, Helis, the fairy Morgana... These frescoes were executed around 1370 by Athon-Pierre de Saint-Floret during installation of Jean de Berry in Auvergne. This cubic Gothic Hall is built on a grandiose scale with an edge of nearly 10 meters. 12 pointed ribs of rare elegance will relate to a beautiful major emblazoned pillar, representing a Sun with human face. 2nd room of the castle is open for 2011 and you can discover the panoramic view of the Castle Dungeon.
