Centre François Mauriac de Malagar
Centre François Mauriac de Malagar, Literary estate and cultural center in Saint-Maixant, France.
The Malagar estate features an 18th-century stone building with cypress tree lanes, gardens, and vineyards on a hilltop in the Gironde region.
Jean Mauriac purchased the former Celestine monastery property in 1843, and his grandson François Mauriac inherited it in 1927, making it his writing sanctuary.
The Centre François Mauriac maintains the legacy of the Nobel Prize laureate through exhibitions, literary workshops, and an annual writing competition.
Visitors can take guided tours of the house and gardens from February to December, with educational programs available for schools and literature students.
The estate combines digital experiences, including touch screens and virtual visits, with the traditional setting where François Mauriac created his literary works.
