Castillon Pujols Tourist Office, the village of Rauzan

Rauzan, from past to present

This small village of 1,200 inhabitants might seem unpretentious if it hadn't won the history lottery and made the duty of transmission its hobbyhorse. Rauzan is indeed endowed with a very rich historical heritage…

The Tourist Office offers you a visit (free or guided) to the Château de Rauzan, a witness to the Hundred Years' War, whose different construction phases extend from the end of the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. A medieval fortified castle that over the centuries became a residential castle, linked to the names of great men such as John Lackland, Bertrand du Guesclin and Léo Drouyn.

The famous Rauzan Antiques and Flea Market Village is where past and present converge. All year round, from Wednesday to Sunday, you can find an original gift, enhance your interior design, or wander around in search of hidden treasures !

Rauzan, between nature and heritage

To combine nature and history, hiking trails will take you past the castle moats, the Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre de Rauzan, sailing through vineyards, fields and forests, to the Curton dolmen, dating from the Neolithic period, in the neighboring town.

The Les Caves de Rauzan wine cooperative offers a wide selection of the famous Bordeaux nectar from nearly 300 winegrowers committed to sustainable development.

Finally, it is truly underground that Rauzan will reveal its most impressive secret to you: the Grotte Célestine, an underground river from the Quaternary period. Accessible in the heart of the village by reservation at the Tourist Office, it will welcome the most curious and courageous among you!

As you can see, Rauzan has more than one trick up his sleeve, and many more secrets to reveal...
