History
The castle of Ambrus is located in the region close to the heart of King Henry IV, as his mother was originally from this area. Since the thirteenth century, in 1259, Ambrus belonged at that time to four co-lords. With the exception of the Hundred Year War, the building does not seem to have suffered from the events of regional history. A square keep dominates all the buildings where elements of the old medieval fortifications, towers, archers, watchtowers are found. Buildings rest on either side of the central tower and are welded to the west facade by a long two-level room forming two large galleries. The commons determine with the surrounding walls a square courtyard whose access is defended, to the west, by a châtelet of entrance with bretèche. An L-shaped dwelling was built to the north of the tower with a corner tower and an enclosure in the 15th century. The entrance, to the northwest dates from the late sixteenth century. In the eighteenth century, a house with agricultural outbuildings closed the courtyard.
Ambrus belongs today to the family of Baron d’Arthuys, who renovated it lovingly. It is in perfect condition, and offers a space of exceptional relaxation.

Activities around
A few kilometers from Ambrus, discover the city of Agen, the hills of Gascogne, the bastides of Lot and Garonne. All the architectural, cultural and gastronomic richness of Aquitaine is at your doorstep.
The Lot et Garonne is halfway between the two largest cities in south-west of France, Bordeaux and Toulouse. It is a step between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, a generous, sunny and welcoming land, with organic farming, a land covered with orchards, producing the famous pruneaux d’Agen, vines (the wines of Buzet), tomato crops (tomates de Marmande), melons, strawberries …
River tourism is well developed with its 200 km of waterways. The greenway of the Canal de Garonne borrows the dam and the old towpath of the canal, 87 km of a 100% natural trail, far from any motorized traffic.
It is also the richest department of Aquitaine in bastides. These medieval villages were founded by the French and the English in a period when the Agenais was a land caught in struggle between the two groups. Some of them have preserved some beautiful vestiges. In particular are the beautiful walls of Vianne and the majestic doors of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. You will be immersed in the intimacy of small squares framed with cutlery in Monflanquin, Castillonnès or Lamontjoie. You will find the atmosphere of the markets of the Middle Ages under the magnificent hall of Villeréal. Finally you will discover old half-timbered houses in Sérignac, Caudecoste, Granges, Laparade, Francescas. Do not forget to visit the wonderful castle of Duras!
