Between Bergerac and Bordeaux, the historic château invites you to walk in Michel de Montaigne’s footsteps and feel the quiet force of his Essais. Climb the celebrated Tower, where stone and silence shaped a philosophy of curiosity, doubt, and grace. Wander through the 19th-century residence in its elegant neo-Renaissance style—an echo of the Belle Époque, progress, and poise. Then drift into the park, across gentle hills and ordered vines, and savor a tasting that reveals the estate’s authentic terroir. Each path, each room, is a chapter; each glass, a conversation. And throughout the summer, theater, performances, and lively guided visits transform contemplation into celebration, welcoming families and dreamers alike.
