Château de Poudenas, Renaissance castle in Gascony, France.

The castle spans over 15 hectares of parkland, featuring Italian-style architecture with a central courtyard measuring 800 square meters and multiple reception halls.

Built in the 13th century, the castle withstood a siege by Edward the Black Prince in 1369 when the Count of Poudenas refused to pay imposed taxes.

The castle hosts musical and theatrical performances in its Court d'Honneur, accommodating up to 500 guests with superior acoustics for artistic presentations.

The property contains 21 double bedrooms distributed across three distinct accommodations: Le Bastion, The Château Apartment, and Maison Simone, housing 40 guests total.

The castle grounds include a park with over 100 tree species, including rare specimens of Atlas and Lebanese cedars planted during the 17th and 18th centuries.
