About

  • English
    • Villandraut was the birthplace of Bertrand de Goth, who became Clement V, first pope of Avignon. Its fortress castle built in the 14th century, of which 6 monumental round towers, the enclosure and the walkway still remain, served for a few years as a papal court. The municipal museum of Villandraut dedicated to local heritage presents its collections in the Braneyre house, with a rectangular plan dating from 1753.

      A few kilometers from Villandraut, the collegiate church of Uzeste, a marvel of Gothic art, houses the tomb of Clément V.

      12 km away, the Royal Château of Cazeneuve, from the 13th and 17th centuries, above the Ciron was the property of the Dukes of Albret, the Kings of Navarre and Henri IV. Queen Margot was placed under house arrest. This place is fully furnished from the period, it has medieval cellars and troglodyte caves. Its 40 hectare wooded park and its English gardens are Natura 2000 classified.
