Description

The Château de la Baume is an imposing château, austere on the outside but richly decorated inside, a former possession of the barony of Peyre, also known by the nickname "little Versailles of the Gévaudan" for its enfilade of rooms, a miniature replica of the Hall of Mirrors. It is located in the commune of Prinsuéjols in Lozère, between Marvejols and Aumont-Aubrac. Situated at an altitude of 1 200 metres, it is the highest château in France.
