Planning a trip to the Dordogne? Don't miss the enchanting Château de Puyguilhem, nestled in the charming town of Villars—a true gem of the French Renaissance.
This majestic mansion residence, a masterpiece of the French Renaissance, invites you to explore its splendor at your own pace with this ticket. Acquired by the jurist Pierre Mondot de la Marthonie in 1510, the castle underwent a transformation from a defensive fortress to a sumptuous Renaissance abode.

In 1515, he became the first president of the Parliament of Paris, marking a significant chapter in French history.
