Château
Lalibarde
This elegant 18th century structure is situated in the Bourg area. It is one of the first properties to became part of the Dumas estates in 1963. This beautiful château is surrounded by communities that have preserved their Romanesque churches, old wash houses, turrets, windmills and fountains that were rumored to have healing powers.
The small Lalibarde village became especially known after the discovering of a 12th century crypt, which according to the nave and collateral belongs to Saint Saturnin.
