Top 5 Castles around Peujard

In the 16th century, the Bourg citadel, the stronghold of Bordeaux, was elevated to the rank of impregnable citadel thanks to the work of the Duke of Épernon, whose vaulted passage remains a vestige that you can discover during guided tours. You'll also visit the basement, where the former stone quarries were used to build impressive 70-meter-long reinforced concrete oil tanks, used during World War II. The Bourg Citadel Museum is located near the castle, which features 18th-century neoclassical architecture. You'll be amazed by its collection of horse-drawn carriages, which you'll learn about during guided tours.

The view of the castle from the cypress-lined path and the valley behind it from the path is very beautiful.

Tarmac at first. No markings. We cross fields without really knowing if it's allowed.

Legacy of the priory of Milhegrand, stronghold of the abbey of Lagrasse in the 12th century, the estate then became a smallholding, maintained by a whole line of winegrowers. Josiane and Jean-Pierre OROSQUETTE, themselves from these families dedicated to the vineyard, have in turn perpetuated this long chain. In the 1970s, they decided to leave the cooperative cellar to settle in their own private cellar. They therefore settled on the La Grave estate where the vineyard, due to lack of maintenance, was in poor condition. From the first harvest, they discovered a lot of white grapes. Surprise ! The majority grape variety is Maccabeu, very appreciated for its aromas, it allows La Grave to obtain a great reputation for its white wines! This is the legendary grape variety of La Grave! Today, their son Jean-François has taken over. While continuing to produce excellent white wines, he developed red (and rosé) wines, bringing them elegance and finesse. The next generation arrives with nephew Tristan (vineyard side) and Jean-François' son, Julien... his sister Marie follows closely behind him! Château La Grave produces its wines under 3 appellations (white, rosé and red).

The terrace of the Chateau de la Citadelle de Bourg en Gironde offers a superb view of the Dordogne just before the junction with the Garonne, from where they form the Gironde estuary.

The Citadel of Bourg museum presents an impressive network of underground passages as well as a collection of horse-drawn carriages. Open daily between June and September.

Worth seeing small manor house with winery.
