Overview

Despite its high walls and picturesque tower, Mercure Figeac Viguier du Roy could be considered a hidden gem in Figeac's medieval streets. The castle was the office and residence of the King's Viguier, a sort of local magistrate. While no longer used for official purposes, the property has many details dating back to its origins. Guests can explore these features as they walk the castle's halls and garden. It is situated in Figeac's old town, meaning visitors looking for cultural enrichment can easily find it by stepping outside. Spend your days milling about Figeac, eating in old taverns, and visiting local museums. If that's not enough, the region of Occitania is filled with historic sites waiting to be discovered.

History

Overlooking the streets of Figeac's medieval neighborhood, this stylish castle hotel blends in perfectly with the old town. Originally known as Château du Viguier du Roy, this castle was home to the Viguier - a type of regional magistrate. The property is well-preserved, with much of its stonework and interiors intact but given a refreshingly modern look. The castle first opened its doors as a hotel in 1990. It was later acquired and became privately owned sometime in 2008. Locals campaigned and bought the castle back, which then reopened as a hotel under the Mercure brand.
