Fodor's Expert Review Château and Musée de la Citadelle
Bourg sur Gironde
Castle/Palace
This handsome château, which dates from 1723, reveals many layers of history, starting with a typical Gallo-Roman residence and a medieval citadel. The Salle des Gardes's medieval walls were incorporated into the newer building and a restored 13th-century pigeonnier can be viewed on the château grounds. The château museum displays lively carrousel horses and a tip-top collection of antique carriages and other conveyances.
