Billy Castle

The military fortress of Billy, in the heart of the medieval town, was built in the 12th century and was part of the Bourbon heritage for several centuries.
The main enclosure is remarkable for its oval shape and especially for its hexagonal watchtower, La Guette, which overlooks the town's houses and the medieval streets that wind around the castle walls. The gatehouse, which shelters the entrance, is still as imposing as ever, and a walkway along the southern curtain wall offers a magnificent panorama of the Allier Valley as far as the Auvergne Mountains.

Also worth discovering: the old streets around the ramparts and the Church of Saint Cyr - Sainte Juliette. Opportunities for hiking or mountain biking, fishing in ponds or rivers, canoeing on the wild stretch of the Allier River... Shops, restaurants, hotels.
