This fine country house is surrounded by parkland and is classified as a site of special interest. In the heart of the vineyards, between Cordes-sur-Ciel and Gaillac, this traditional Languedoc manor house is the birthplace of the Romantic poet Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839), known for his prose poems "Le Centaure" and "La Bacchante", and his diary "Le Cahier Vert". His sister Eugénie (1805-1848) wrote a diary for him, which is a precious testimony to life in the Tarn in the 19th century. In addition to the visit of the castle, the museum hosts cultural events throughout the year on the theme of poetry, literature and the arts. In the park, hiking trails, including a literary trail, encourage strolling and are all ways to feel the special atmosphere of this place.

The Château de Mayragues (12th - 17th century) and its pigeon loft built on 4 columns, both listed as Historic Buildings, surrounded by its bio-dynamic vineyard, sit proudly in the midst of the magnificent rolling countryside of the Bastides Albigeoises. The Château de Mayragues is one of the few remaining examples of the regional fortified architecture with a half-timbered, overhanging gallery surrounding the top of the château built of the light-coloured local limestone. The splendid pigeon loft sitting on 4 stone columns, typical of the Languedoc region, the formal box parterre, the vineyard ( cultivated in bio-dynamics since 1999), the surrounding woods and fields of sunflowers and corn, make an ideal setting for the summer concerts which have been performed in front of the château for the last 20 years. The château and the pigeon loft have undergone an extensive 35 year restoration programme using traditional meterials of stone, wood, lime and sand, and in 1998, during the course of the restoration, were awarded the Grand Prix of the Vieilles Maisons Françaises. The half-timbered gallery provides a unique setting for the guest B&B bedrooms and an extensive view over the garden and the surrounding countryside. Visiting the winery, tasting the bio-dynamic wines of the domain, or simply relaxing in the garden are the ideal complement to discovering the treasures of the Bastides Albigeoises.

Overlooking the rolling hills of the Gaillac vineyards, Castelnau-de-Montmiral is centred around its arcaded main square. Founded in the 13th century, it combines architectural harmony with gentle landscapes. Founded in the 13th century by Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse, Castelnau-de-Montmiral is a castelnau, a seigneurial settlement organised around local authority. Although its layout is structured, it does not strictly follow the bastide model, reflecting instead a different approach to medieval territorial organisation. The village is centred around its remarkable arcaded square, which has been the heart of local life since its foundation. Lined with houses combining stone, brick and timber framing, it remains a lively focal point for markets and daily life. From this central space, streets extend towards different parts of the village, leading in particular to the Church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, home to a rich heritage including a remarkable 14th-century reliquary cross. Listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”, Castelnau-de-Montmiral is appreciated for its balance between architecture and landscape. From its elevated position, it offers wide views over the Gaillac vineyards and the surrounding countryside. To explore the village in a different way, the EnQuête(s) free app provides a self-guided tour with interactive and immersive content revealing the site’s history and hidden details. The app is also available in English.
