At the foot of the ancient Polignac fortress lies this 18th-century farmhouse, now charmingly named La Gourmantine. Like the rest of the village, the guesthouse blends into a dramatic setting of gray basalt and red-tiled roofs, overlooked by the fortress ruins. This ensemble reflects the history and former power of the illustrious Polignac family.
