Château Bel-Air, Historic château in Le Haillan, France

The two-story château, constructed in 1820, features a combination of rough and dressed stone with a roof incorporating slate and tile materials.

During World War II, German forces used the château as a munitions depot, which exploded on August 23, 1944, causing damage to surrounding woods.

The property transformed from a medieval estate called Bourdieu de Lanneblanque to a modern sports facility housing FC Girondins de Bordeaux's administrative headquarters.

The facility includes nine football fields, a hockey field, swimming pool, changing rooms, training center, and multiple bungalows spread across 28 hectares.

The site witnessed the Battle of Haillan during the Hundred Years' War when Bordeaux refused entry to Charles VII of France's troops.
