Fantastic. Tour guide is absolutely amazing. Beautiful 2 hours tour, worth every cent and minute.

If you are looking at this, you know that this is the chateau where Montesquieu wrote his great works. What’s important to know is that the place is beautiful and the tours, especially the one of the park, are wonderful. It becomes much easier to read the Great thinker knowing how and where he worked. The only downside is that I could not find public transportation to the chateau and had to take a taxi. I was able to meet a Bordeaux resident during the tour who took me back to the nearest tram stop.

Cute. The tour was about an hour long but it feels shorter. It was 11€ for adults and with a student ID it’s 9€. There are your times every hour.

A beautiful castle. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. The guided tour is about an hour long and cost about €9 per person. It’s possible to just walk around the grounds if you don’t want to do a tour

Lovely place to visit, we found it thanks to our lovely hosts. You can visit the surroundings for a reduced price, or check the times of the guided tour and visit the inside of the castle. Sounds like a great plan, but we were running out of time and only walk through the surroundings. If you're in the Léognan area and want to discover new places, this is a must! Everything is beautiful if you drive around the area.
