Châtel-Guyon (French: Auvergnat: Chastel Guion) is a commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in central France.[4]
Prior to June 2008 it was officially known as Châtelguyon,[5] the change in the official styling being an adoption of its colloquial spelling,[6] as, for example, used by Guy de Maupassant in his 1884 short story, "Le tic".[7]
First World War
At the time of the
American Expeditionary Force established Base Hospital No. 20 at Châtel-Guyon in May 1918.[10] The hospital ceased operations in January 1919.[11]
