There has been a chateau on the current site since the 13th century. Originally fortified to collect taxes on the Garonne at the port of Saubio in the time of Albret, burnt by the English during the 100 years war, extended and altered by various owners; the chateau is a grand building, with it’s remaining twin towers an imposing feature viewed from the canal below.

The Chateau is secluded on it’s hill above the canal, surrounded by its 5ha (20 acre) park.
