ANCIENT GRIMALDI STRONGHOLDS - EFFIAT
Effiat Castle, located in the department of Puy-de-Dôme, was built by Antoine Coëffier de Ruzé d’Effiat, a friend of Cardinal Richelieu and advisor to Louis XIII, whose lands were elevated to the rank of a marquisate in 1627. His grandson, the Duke of La Meilleraye, married Hortense Mancini, the niece of Cardinal de Mazarin, whose descendant, Louise d’Aumont, married Honoré IV, the future Prince of Monaco, in 1777.
