Butte de Launay, Highest summit of Entre-deux-Mers in Cazaugitat, France
The natural elevation reaches 143 meters between the municipalities of Soussac and Cazaugitat, marking the most significant relief in the Gironde department.
A medieval castle once stood at the summit, surrounded by a moat to the south and east, with terraces on the remaining slopes according to Léo Drouyn's surveys.
The Saint-Jean-de-Puy-de-Tour chapel, now vanished, crowned the summit and served as an important place of worship for the regional population.
Access to the summit follows a marked path from the northeast slope, allowing hikers to reach the highest point without technical difficulties.
Two mills stood at the corners of the fortified enclosure, indicating the past economic activity of this strategic site in Entre-deux-Mers.
