Free visit of the rooms at the top of the castle (entrance from the back of the building), the park and the dovecote. Presentation of the history of the castle and the Leygues family, accompanied by various activities: art and holistic care. The castle that we know today was rebuilt around 1780. Its plan would be the work of the Bordeaux architect Victor Louis. The building has three elevations, of which the central one is surmounted by a pediment. A pigeon loft on piles, located at the edge of the Lot, could date from the 16th or 17th century. The estate was divided in the 19th century and acquired around 1900 by Georges Leygues, deputy of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. The castle will serve as a hospital during the war of 1914-1918.
