Logis du Maine-Giraud

The rectangular main building features a central polygonal tower with a spiral staircase and two square towers at each end of the structure.

The property, constructed in the 16th century, became the residence of French poet Alfred de Vigny from 1850 to 1853 after inheriting it from relatives.

The writer Alfred de Vigny composed several literary works in a small room at the top of the spiral staircase tower of Maine-Giraud.

The estate includes a distillery producing cognac and pineau, with products available for direct purchase during visiting hours throughout the year.

The property combines a heritage-listed architectural structure with an active cognac production facility, maintaining centuries-old winemaking traditions.
