Vic-le-Comte : Michelin's recommendations

Vic-le-Comte, today the seat of the canton, was once the capital of the County of Auvergne, ruled in turn by Jean Stuart, Catherine de Medici, then the famous Queen Margot until 1606. The fortified town boasts beautiful houses built of light arkose sandstone and many religious buildings, including Sainte-Chapelle, a fine Gothic chapel heralding the Renaissance (it contains a remarkable altarpiece and stained-glass windows). Don’t miss the Château de Busséol and its surprising hillside garden.
