Château de Bonrepos, Historical monument and château in Bonrepos-Riquet, France.
The château stands with its square towers, moats, and French gardens on a hill overlooking the Conné and Girou valleys.
Pierre-Paul Riquet began reconstructing the château in 1651, transforming a deteriorated structure into his residence while designing the Canal du Midi.
The château holds guided tours exploring the orangerie, cool grotto, ice house, and experimental water basins that influenced French engineering.
The site operates from April through October, offering tours at 3 PM with additional morning sessions during summer months at 10:30 AM.
The experimental water basins within the château grounds served as testing facilities for the hydraulic systems later used in the Canal du Midi.
