The castle of Mongenan offers you to live an hour in the eighteenth century.

Come admire a superb collection composed of costumes, fans, portraits, earthenware, porcelains, painted canvases, masonic objects.
Walk through the gardens, classified as Historical Monuments and labeled «Remarkable Garden».
Discover through the family archives, the political, financial, philosophical and romantic itinerary of Antoine-Claude de Valdec de Lessart, minister of Louis XVI, director of the Compagnie des Indes, massacred during the Revolution. His taste for wine, botany and belonging to the Freemasonry marked Mongenan forever.
Look at the famous herbarium made for the Baron de Gascq by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who is too often forgotten that he was also an engraver, botanist, violinist and composer before being a novelist and philosopher.

About the location

Château de Mongenan
16 rue Mongenan, 33640 Portets
  • Gironde
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Delightful madness of the Louis XV period having entirely preserved its period furniture and decoration, this 18th century residence houses a museum gathering documents, earthenware, costumes, cabinet of curiosities and painted canvases, and a masonic lodge illustrating the Enlightenment. Three gardens combining rare plants and remarkable trees recall the influence exerted on this place by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
