About Chateau de Vayres
Add to favoritesJust a few kilometers from Bordeaux, the Château de Vayres is one of the most prestigious monuments in the Gironde. Formerly owned by King Henry IV, this historic residence surprises visitors with its unique architectural blend: on one side, an imposing medieval fortress with its gatehouse, and on the other, an elegant Renaissance façade overlooking the Dordogne River. The château has stood the test of time with panache, preserving richly furnished interiors that bear witness to French refinement. The main attraction of the visit lies in the harmonious relationship between the architecture and nature. The château is famous for its "Remarkable" gardens, which slope down in terraces towards the river. Here, you will discover a French garden of absolute geometric precision, contrasting with flowerbeds and a forest that adds a touch of wildness to the estate. It is an essential stop for lovers of art, history, and botany who wish to discover a more intimate and majestic side of Aquitaine.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Admire the view from the terrace: Don't leave without taking the time to contemplate the view from the terrace overlooking the Dordogne River. It's the best place to understand the strategic location of the castle and enjoy the magnificent light, especially in the late afternoon.
