About

Discover an awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece of Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux perched atop a rocky plateau.

Surveying the convergence of four rivers – Cère, Bave, Mamoul, and Dordogne – the castle is aptly described by the renowned writer Prosper Mérimée as “a summary of medieval art”. Step inside and immerse yourself in a world of timeless beauty and refinement in Quercy.

The exquisite apartments, now accessible to the public, showcase a meticulously curated collection of furniture and artwork, personally handpicked by Jean Mouliérat himself. Every piece tells a story and evokes a sense of grandeur that transports you to another era.
