« Monuments en chantier », the review published by the Auvergne heritage office for the Heritage Days, featured Villemont twice: in 1998 for the rescue of the outbuildings, in 2001 for the entrance pavilion. Vichy’s municipal magazine gave it its back cover in April 2002, and the regional daily La Montagne has followed the rescue since 1995. Click to read each cutting.
