Chateau de Cussac offers
authentic Bed and Breakfast (B&B) accommodation in a 15th century manor
house 12km from Albi in South West France.
Guests are welcomed all year round in accommodation that reflects
the charm and character of a 15th century chateau, with all the comforts of
the 21st century. Accommodation and
amenities are child-friendly.
Chateau de Cussac was
built in the 15th century. Surviving documentary evidence requesting
permission from the French Dauphine, Louis XI to construct two towers on
the site suggests the first stone was laid in 1432. The chateau has been
completely renovated in recent years and its restoration has revealed the
full extent of its fortified origins – a partial moat, and an
abundance of arrow holes designed to defend the chateau from marauding
English invaders. A vaulted cellar room and well-trodden spiral stone
staircase are further reminders of the chateau’s medieval origins.
Cussac dominates the
tranquil and scenic Tarnais countryside providing an impressive view - to
the medieval town of Albi with its cathedral just 10km away and, on a clear
Autumn day, to the Pyrennean mountain range some 200km to the South. The
surrounding countryside, the rivers and forests, the vineyards of Gaillac
and the nearby tourist towns of Albi, Cordes and Ambialet provide the
backdrop to a perfect stay in the region.
We look forward to
welcoming you soon.
