This magnificent building which became a fortified castle during the Hundred Years War can be visited. Located on a rocky promontory, it impresses. A little well-kept secret: it overlooks the Babory stream which flows into Lake Sailhant forming a very pretty waterfall. This visit, and this magical natural place, here are two good reasons to make a stopover in Andelat!

The site of the Babory waterfall is particularly pleasant with this waterfall falling into a chasm from a 30m basalt wall.
