At the end of an alley lined with pastures, where a few Aubrac cows graze peacefully, appears the Château de Croptes, in Lezoux, near Clermont-Ferrand, and its breathtaking view of the Puy de Dôme. The master of the place, Fulcran de Roquefeuil, 74, has kept this property, in the family since 1878, actually built in 1472. “It is here that we meet for the holidays with our children and our grandchildren” , specifies the host, who lives the rest of the time in Versailles (Yvelines) with his wife.
