    • This small village and especially its castle sheltered an illustrious writer, philosopher of lights: Charles Louis de Secondat, baron of Montesquieu and Brède. Born in 1689, he spent a good part of his life there.

      In 1951, the Château de la Brède was classified as a Historic Monument and its entire estate became so in 2008.

      A few kilometers away, in Martillac, the Château de Rochermorin housed the family vineyard. This love for the vine, Montesquieu kept it all his life, he was an excellent ambassador.
