In the castle of Ravel, located in Auvergne, exists an aula decorated with a long fresco featuring the arms of various princes and local nobles.
Pierre Flotte (d.1302), councillor of Philippe IV le Bel, received the castle as a gift from the king in 1294.
Today the castle is privately owned and extensive restoration work was completed on that room in 2021. The present reconstruction of the paintings follows the numbering (not accounting for the destroyed shields) of the pre-restoration study published by Christian de Mérindol in 2000. It also provides additional changes to match other iconographic testimonies and newly available pictures of the restored room.
