(Translated by Google) For reading enthusiasts who, after devouring the work of François Mauriac, want to discover the place that inspired it so much, I have only one word to say... go there! It's poignant to immerse yourself in the place, to put yourself in the shoes of such a great author, to contemplate this office so full of stories; we like to believe that it could be us, the creator of so many emotions😉😊 (Original) Pou les amateurs de lecture qui après avoir dévoré l'oeuvre de François Mauriac veulent découvrir le lieu qui la tant inspiré, je n'ai qu'un mot à dire... allez y!

Great place for a wander around. You need to go down the ramparts to get a spectacular view of the town.
(Translated by Google) Visit to make. Really very nice, very pretty and very quiet. On the other hand, the works of art on the theme “a special summer” that we were able to discover on the route were for some confusing 😅 (Original) Visite à faire. Vraiment très sympa, très jolie et très calme. Par contre les oeuvres d'art sur le thème "un été particulier" qu'on a pu decouvrir sur le parcours était pour certaines déroutantes 😅
(Translated by Google) A nice little stop to unwind people. We went around quickly but we were out of season, so we took our time. Ps: beware of people who are allergic to bees, on the small church side, several holes in these exterior walls had nests. (Original) Un petit arrêt sympa pour se degourdire les gens. On fait vite le tour mais nous étions hors saison, nous avons prit notre temps. Ps: attention aux gens qui sont allergiques aux abeilles, sur le côté petite église, plusieurs trous dans ces murs extérieurs avait des nids.
(Translated by Google) Stunning The little extra, this passionate “no brake on mobility” gentleman with whom we had the pleasure of chatting! My children came out with a smile 😀 (Original) Superbe Le petit plus, ce monsieur passionné « pas de frein à la mobilité » avec qui nous avons eu le plaisir de discuter ! Mes enfants sont ressortis avec le sourire 😀
(Translated by Google) Looking for a little relaxing time with friends, we ventured into the small medieval village of Saint Macaire and to our delight we were not at all disappointed when we came across this fortified house. It is a quiet place where a few children run around and you can take magnificent photos given the absolutely magnificent setting. We have already planned to come back the next sunny day that comes! (Original) À la recherche d'un petit moment détente entre amis, nous nous sommes aventurés dans le petit village médiéval de Saint Macaire et pour notre plus grand bonheur nous n'avons pas du tout été déçus en tombant sur cette maison-forte. Il s'agit un endroit au calme où gambadent quelques enfants et on peut y faire de magnifiques photos au vu du cadre absolument magnifique. Nous avons déjà prévus de revenir au prochain beaux jours qui se manifesteront !
(Translated by Google) Medieval castle in the seemingly sleepy village of Saint Macaire directly on the Garonne. Numerous festivals take place at the foot of the mighty castle wall. Much has been restored, but some has completely fallen apart. There are small hotels and good restaurants in the village. Very worth seeing! (Original) Mittelalterliche Burg im scheinbar verschlafen Dorf Saint Macaire direkt am der Garonne. Am Fuße der mächtigen Burgmauer finden aber zahlreiche Festivals statt. Vieles ist restauriert, manches aber vollkommen zerfallen. Im Dorf gibt es kleine Hotels und gute Restaurants. Sehr sehenswert!

We enjoyed wine tasting at Château Mémoires with owner Beate Ménard. Specializing in organic production methods, she and husband Jean-François have created a line-up of wines that includes something for all tastes. Our favorites today were the dry white Semillon and Fleur d'Opale. The Semillion is a classic Bordeaux white that is beautifully balanced. The Fleur d'Opale has more complex floral notes and a smoothness from being aged in oak barrels. Beate provided heaps of information about the region and their wine production methods, and she also gave us a short tour of their production facility. I'm sure our memories of Château Mémoires will last a lifetime, even if the twelve bottles we took home with us won't last long at all.
(Translated by Google) Superb address to discover quality and more organic wines. We had a great time with answers to our questions about wine and how it is made. Thank you and above all whether you are a lover of white rosé or red, you must come and see this estate. 👍 (Original) Superbe adresse pour découvrir des vins de qualité et de plus bio. Nous avons passé un bon moment avec des réponses à nos questions sur le vin et sa fabrication. Merci et surtout que vous soyer un amateur de blanc rosé ou rouge il faut passer voir ce domaine. 👍
(Translated by Google) Great vineyard I recommend!!! Loic and his dad give us the pleasure of sharing their passion with us. Quality product, they only offer biodynamic wines. Rare are those to be offered on Cadillac's odds. (Original) Super vignoble je recommande!!! Loic et son papa nous font le plaisir de nous faire partager leur passion. Produit de qualité, ils proposent uniquement des vins en biodynamie. Rare sont ceux à proposer sur les cotes de Cadillac.
(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome from the Menard family, wine professionals who combine sympathy, good manners, kindness, quality and passion. The fleur d'opale white wine is exceptional...and the quality and taste of the reds specific to the chateau make these atypical wines for a real pleasure when tasting with an attractive price. Absolutely worth discovering. (Original) Très bon accueil de la famille Menard professionnels du vin qui conjuguent sympathie, savoir vivre, gentillesse, qualité et passion. Le vin blanc fleur d opale est exceptionnel...et la qualité et le gout des rouges propres au chateau rendent ces vins atypiques pour un réel plaisir lors de la degustation avec un tarif attractif. A découvrir absolument.
(Translated by Google) It was at a very good restaurant nearby, the l'Abricotier restaurant in St Macaire, that I discovered the white sauvignon from this producer that I didn't know. So I went to discover this castle in St Maixant. I was warmly welcomed by ELSA MENARD, a dynamic and efficient young winemaker who has taken over the reins of the estate and benefits from the valuable experience of Jean François and Beate MENARD, who are always present. They shared with me their passion for wine and a job well done, pure joy, a real moment of exchange and sharing around tasting glasses of the entire production. I left, of course, with a few boxes to introduce this castle to my friends. Château Mémoires, we come there, we come back, we are interested in its life, we share its activities, we have the impression of being part of the family.....FRIENDS of WINE. (Original) C'est à une très bonne table à proximité, le restaurant l'Abricotier à St Macaire que j'ai découvert le blanc sauvignon de ce producteur que je ne connaissais pas. Je suis donc partie à la découverte de ce château à St Maixant. J'ai été chaleureusement accueilli par ELSA MENARD jeune vigneronne dynamique et performante qui a pris en main les rênes du domaine et bénéficie de l'expérience précieuse de Jean François et Beate MENARD toujours présents. Ils m'ont fait partager leur passion pour le vin et le travail bien fait, un pur bonheur, un vrai moment d'échange et de partage autour de verres de dégustation de l'ensemble de la production. J'en suis reparti, bien sûr, avec quelques caisses pour faire connaître ce château à mes amis. Le château Mémoires, on y vient, on y revient, on s'intéresse à sa vie, on partage ses activités, on a l'impression de faire partie de la famille.....des AMIS du VIN.
(Translated by Google) The boss is really great! Very good wine and excellent welcome! (Original) Le patron est vraiment super ! Très bon vin et accueil au top !
(Translated by Google) An excellent wine château which welcomes with great conviviality (Original) Un excellent château viticole qui reçoit avec beaucoup de convivialité
