Located 25 km from Clermont-Ferrand and 27 minutes from Aulnat Airport, the Ch\u00e2teau de Montfleury stands out as an exceptional destination in the heart of \u201cTuscany of Auvergne,\u201d a micro-region with Latin charm so named by Catherine de\u2019 Medici herself.

With its yellow arkose stone, which gives it the look of an Italian villa, the view of the Cha\u00eene des Puys from the far end of the park, and the intimate atmosphere of a family estate passed down through the centuries, Montfleury is a place unlike any other in Auvergne.<\/p>\n
The castle has 9 rooms that can accommodate 15 people, along with a vacation rental that sleeps 8. For your events, the fully renovated banquet halls can seat up to 170 people. The estate is the ideal setting for weddings, birthdays, corporate seminars, and large family celebrations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":74727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","regions":[60],"usages":[335,336,338],"class_list":["post-74887","chateau","type-chateau","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","regions-central-france","usages-vacations","usages-weddings","usages-weekends-en"],"acf":{"latitude":"45.663399","longitude":"3.253247","coordonnees":{"address":"","lat":45.663399,"lng":3.253247},"nombre_de_couchages":23,"surface":"5ha","nombres_d_invites":170,"nombre_de_chambres":9,"description_courte":"Rent the Ch\u00e2teau de Montfleury in Puy-de-D\u00f4me for weddings, vacations, and family celebrations.

Upon her death in 1561, the estate passed to the d\u2019Aymard family, then to the du Bost family. The du Bost family retained it until Michel du Bost de Codegnat, who, having no descendants, donated it in 1722<\/strong> to Pierre and Marie-Anne Amariton, on the condition that they adopt the name and coat of arms of the du Bost family. <\/p>\n Montfleury is historically notable for having been regularly passed down from uncle to nephew<\/strong>. During the Revolution, like the other properties of the \u00e9migr\u00e9s, the estate was seized and its furnishings sold at auction in the courtyard. Jean-Baptiste-Louis Amariton de Montfleury reclaimed his estate upon his return from exile and commissioned the early 19th-century additions<\/strong>, without altering the original character of the property. Having no children of his own, he adopted his grandnephew Louis de Vinols, to whom he bequeathed his name, his title, and all his property. <\/p>\n Today, Montfleury is writing a new chapter in its history\u2014that of an open, vibrant estate, remaining true to the spirit of a grand family home that has always defined it.<\/p>","timeline":null,"les_salons_et_pi\u00e8ces_de_reception":" The Ch\u00e2teau de Montfleury features three flexible reception areas<\/strong>, all of which are accessible to people with limited mobility (PWM), located as an extension of the 18th-century building.<\/p>\n\n The Brighella Room, Montfleury\u2019s main reception space, has been completely renovated and can be configured to suit your needs.
