Discover where the famous French writer and philosopher Montesquieu was born, lived and worked.

The tour will start from Bordeaux and your private guide will take you to the Medieval Castle of La Brede. Listed as a Historical Monument since 1951, the castle is an exceptional historical, architectural and natural site, where the famous French writer and philosopher Montesquieu was born, lived and worked. You will discover its 17th-century renaissance furnished interiors, the chapel, and the writer's library.

 

Afterward, you will travel with your private guide to a Village-Bastide (Bastides are cities that are characterized by the main square with arcades) of the 13th century, located in the area well-known for its sweet white wines.
