History:
In the Middle Ages the castle of Mavaleix was a fortress, built to protect the forges that were along the lenght of the small river 'La Valouze', against invasion from the occupying neighbours. The forges were vital as they produced weapons, instruments, keys and locks necessary for the nobility. The castle was, at the same time, the residence of certain "Master Ironsmith" who often acquired a noble title.
One of these illustrious residents was Nicolas-Emile Grenouillet of Mavaleix. This Master of the Forge, well liked within his entourage, was the mayor of the community of Chalais for several years. His imposing tomb, dating of the end of the 19th century, can be found hidden in the woods of the castle. This monument can be still be visited today, although his remains have been transferred to the cemetery of Chalais where one can admire a copy of his tomb.

Staying in this medieval castle was nothing short of magical! The apartment was beautifully furnished and had all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay, We particularly enjoyed the spacious living area and the cozy fireplace, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring nearby castles like Jumilhac, The shared swimming pool was a delightful bonus, and we loved taking evening strolls around the pond, Our kids had a blast on the trampoline! It's an excellent spot for families looking to unwind in nature

Unique experience! Staying in the castle was on our to-do list and did not disappoint. The common areas offered plenty to do, from tennis to time by the pool. We even took a trip to the beautiful Arborétum des Pouyouleix, which was just a short drive away. Highly recommend for a family getaway!
