[Bourbon-l'Archambault (fr. Bourbon-l'Archambault) is a commune in France, located in the Auvergne region. Commune Department - Allier. The administrative center of the canton of Bourbon-l'Archambaut. District of the commune - Moulins.
The town of Bourbon-l'Arshambaut went down in history as the cradle of the royal family of Bourbons, who ruled France in the 16th-19th centuries. In the X century, the first wooden castle arose here, in the XII century a stone fortress was built in its place, which over a century turned into a powerful defensive structure with 15 towers.
From all the splendor of the flaming Gothic of the Bourbon castle, only ruins have survived to this day.]
