The chateau of Parentignat was built between 1707 and 1720 by Anne-Francois de Lastic, Marquess of Sieujac and Captain of a Royal infantry regiment, on the foundations of an old fortress. The chateau remains in the family to this day and is the object of an extensive restoration programme. The landscaped gardens can be viewed from the terrace at the back of the chateau, which is lined with heirloom roses and fantastic orange trees in their original 18th century pots. The gaiety of this green and pleasant "natural" garden provides a stark contrast with the formal geometry of the lawns in the front courtyard which have been restored recently, along with the avenue of lime trees leading to the chateau's entrance.The chateau has always been renowned for being so sumptuously appointed. Its furniture and art collections have always been exceptional. A Geocaching session in the park of the castle is a must for a family attraction !
This is a stunning piece of French History and an architectural gem. This beautiful château holds incredible pieces of art and true treasures. Not only do you learn a lot about 18th and19th century art and furniture but you will also refresh your knowledge of French history. After the visit, you can wonder in the gorgeous park and enjoy the shade of century-old trees. Your kids can run around doing the geo catch activity.Don’t forget to enjoy a cup of tea at the tea shop. Ask for Benjamin to be your guide. He is wonderful!!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the museum, it’s so well done! The exhibits are wonderful and provide a overview of art throughout France’s history. The building is also beautiful inside and creatively remodeled. The museum is also free for students making it a must see when in Clermont-Ferrand!

Situé dans le site emblématique et saisissant de la Vallée des Usines de Thiers, le centre d’art contemporain du Creux de l’enfer a été créé en 1988 dans un bâtiment industriel exceptionnel, une ancienne coutellerie se dressant au-dessus de la Durolle, un torrent déferlant qui en fait un lieu profondément atypique. Depuis 2019, le Creux de l’enfer a été labellisé « centre d’art contemporain d’intérêt national ». Cette distinction vient reconnaître le travail conduit depuis plus de trente ans par ses directions successives et leurs équipes. Ainsi, il met à l’honneur le meilleur de la création artistique contemporaine nationale autant qu’internationale et invite des artistes à produire des œuvres en immersion, en collaborant avec des acteurs locaux. Il propose chaque année plusieurs expositions monographiques ou collectives, des conférences ou rencontres avec les artistes, ainsi que des actions de médiation et des évènements publics, comme les "Samedis d'enfer".
