The sumptuous Mauriac fortified castle dates from the 13th century. It is a Historic Monument, listed in the Michelin Green Guide and which offers immersive tours in its History, Heritage and Painting. It is one of the most beautiful residences in France. This Castle was restored thanks to its owner, the painter Bernard BISTES (1941-2020) and his family, who have lived there for nearly 60 years and devote a lot of time to its revival, its enhancement and its maintenance. Organized in association, they have at heart to allow this castle, which was the residence and the muse of the painter, to come back to life.
