    • The Château de Mauriac, an unmissable historic building in the Tarn

      Open your eyes wide to see the Château fort de Mauriac which rises in the heart of the Gaillac vineyard, offering you a magnificent spectacle of stone and nature. Located between the towns of Albi, Cordes-sur-Ciel and Gaillac, it opens its doors to you from April 15 to November 15 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. for an immersive guided tour that delights young and old alike.

      Château de Mauriac, a story of passion that spans generations

      Founded in 1214 by the Templar Guiriaudus de Mauriaco (which explains the name Mauriac), the castle was restored for many years by its owner, the painter Bernard Bistes and his family , who fell in love with this Historic Monument listed in the Michelin Green Guide . Known until the 17th century as a Pastelier castle, it was the place where pastel was grown to dye clothes blue. All this history as well as its rebirth and renovation are presented during a one-hour guided tour of the castle grounds, allowing you to discover the life of the time , but also that of the Bistes family who still live there. Fully furnished, the Château de Mauriac is designated as one of the 50 most beautiful private residences in France and is one of the must-see visits in the Tarn.

      The Château de Mauriac, a unique and magical place to stay in the Tarn

      Experience a special moment in the heart of a magnificent renovated castle. The 5 guest rooms, the suite and the apartment offer you a timeless experience, prestigious rentals where the lords of yesteryear stayed.

The Château de Mauriac can also be privatized to organize your private events with the possibility of receiving up to 350 guests . Weddings, birthdays, bachelor parties or seminars, take advantage of the many spaces of the property to experience an unforgettable and friendly moment in the Tarn.

    We were looking for accommodation for one night and what a surprise! We were able to visit the castle upon our arrival with Emmanuel, who simply immersed us in the history of the castle and in the titanic renovation that was carried out by his family! Simply magnificent castle, magnificent decor, absolutely worth seeing at least once!!! Thank you for this stay with perfect services in an exceptional environment!
