Château du Prada
In the east of the Landes, in the heart of Labastide d'Armagnac, one of the most beautiful bastides of the South-West, appears the elegant silhouette of the Château du Prada on the edge of the Avenue de l'Armagnac
"Simple, convenient, beautiful" is how Victor Louis, architect of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, described the "house on the meadow" he delivered to the Bouglon family in 1764. It became the cradle of a long and glorious line of soldiers. From the inn where he stayed, fleeing Paris and its demons, the writer Barbey d'Aurevilly watched for the Baroness, his impossible love, his "White Angel". As soon as you enter the castle through the elaborate entrance gate, a romantic atmosphere still floats over the castle: monumental staircase, collections of antique furniture, beautiful fireplaces? The visit continues in the cellars where old armagnacs are sleeping.
