Formerly the property of the Albret family and of King Henry IV, Vayres Castle, built in the 14th, 16th and 17th centuries, majestically overlooks the Dordogne. Besides its wonderful view of the famous river, the Vayres estate also boasts a park which has been awarded the Remarkable Garden label. The elegant French formal gardens, the medieval-style flower garden and mill walk make it an enchanting place for a leisurely stroll... Children and adults can also have fun by taking part in an outdoor riddle trail!
Medieval, Renaissance and classical in style, Vayres Castle, a listed Historic Monument, also has a range of attractions, with its guard room, grand drawing room, Henry IV drawing room, library and chapel of murmurs, which you can admire on a tour.
A festival of swashbuckling in July, as well as night-time performances by torchlight, are highlights of the summer calendar.
