Hiking
The fortress is clearly visible above the town of Polignac on a volcanic rock slab that slopes steeply to the sides. Because of this, among other things, the fortress was never taken by opponents. It has belonged to the Polignac family for over 1,000 years and is now an open-air museum with guided tours and an annual medieval spectacle.
Entry chips are available at the local tourist information office on the church square in town.
The view from the 32m high keep is breathtaking!

The fortifications can be seen from afar. A very impressive landmark of the region.

The Polignac fortress dominates the Polignac valley and the Puy basin on an impressive basalt platform (remnant of an ancient lava flow).
