Château de Calmont d'Olt

The fortified castle of Calmont d'Olt dominates from its summit the town of Espalion and the Lot valley. In addition to the many medieval games and the free visit, the castle offers entertainment and shows suitable for young and old alike!

The castle of Calmont d'Olt offers an essential visit thanks to a route explaining the architecture and history of the place. Treat yourself to an excursion in the middle of the Middle Ages thanks to the guided tours, entertainment and shows : trebuchet and cannon firing, archery demonstration and workshop on daily life. 

For children, medieval games are freely accessible and "the knight's course" allows them to visit differently and win a diploma in calligraphy in their name.

Far from the stasis of monuments, this castle has been constantly evolving for 30 years, thanks to the stabilization works and archaeological sites. An archaeological exhibition of knights' armor and equipment as well as a unique panorama of Aubrac and the Lot valley will complete your day at the castle.
