About

  • English
    • Dominating the village of Saint-Projet in the Tarn-et-Garonne, the Château de Saint-Projet is a stone sentinel whose history has fascinated people since the 13th century. Today, it is nicknamed the "Château de la Reine Margot" (Queen Margot's Castle) in memory of the stay of Marguerite de Valois, who found refuge there to escape the turmoil of the Wars of Religion.

      This remarkably restored historical monument immerses you in the past. The highlight of the visit is undoubtedly the Queen's bedroom, where the period furniture and hushed atmosphere seem to still carry the sovereign's presence. Beyond the royal legend, the site's architecture impresses with the balance between its medieval defensive elements and the refinement of its interior decor. Its hanging gardens offer breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys.

      The castle is therefore an essential stop for lovers of heritage and great romantic epics.
