At the time, the property was called "Château Lamothe", a seigneury of Cussac, owned by the Captal de Buch. It is said that "when he became a prisoner of Duguesclin, the Captal sold ten harvests of his wine, highly valued by the English who occupied Bordeaux at the time, to pay the heavy ransom demanded of him.
On Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd April 2023, Les Fines Lames du Médoc will set up their medieval camp in the château grounds for the weekend. You will wander between the tents dedicated to lords, knights or soldiers, kitchen, combat licea and weapons and pillory areas. The days will be punctuated by tournaments and fights in armour, initiation to archery (axe throwing, shooting with longbow, horsebow and medieval arrows) and presentations of the camp and its weapons.
Throughout the weekend, you will also be able to meet and discover about fifteen local producers and creators selected by Belinda Events: leather goods, honey, canning, pottery, soaps, medieval jewellery, ceramics and many others.
And finally, Olivier will be present with his Food Truck O'Krep to treat us to his delicious Breton pancakes and galettes.
