Beautiful castle, close for the siesta
0

The castle, which once dominated the Dordogne valley from a rocky outcrop, has stood since 1952 on a headland that juts out into the Barrage de Bort-les-Orgues reservoir. The original character of the castle can only be guessed at when the water level is low. The multi-storey building is surrounded by five towers of roughly the same thickness and one thinner one, each with overhangs and conical roofs. The individual floors are connected by a spiral staircase in the vestibule. The inner courtyard was originally roofless. The first floor consists of three large rooms with decorated fireplaces from the mid-19th century and various furniture. An art exhibition with works by painters, mostly from the region, takes place every year on the second floor. The artistically crafted roof trusses of the towers can be seen from the battlement on the top floor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Val

The Bort dam is a structure 120 meters high and 390 meters long, straddling the municipalities of Bort and Lanobre, and creating a reservoir of more than 10 km2. Built between 1942 and 1952, it was then a veritable concrete juggernaut and today it remains one of the largest dams in France (and still the third in mainland France if we look at the quantity of water retained by a concrete construction). It is also the first and largest reservoir in the hydroelectric system of the Dordogne valley.

Pleasant path on the Cantal banks of the dam. Possibility to make a short loop from the castle going up on the Monteil or to extend to the Siauve for a longer loop.
