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!

  • la joie de recevoir une si belle lettre

    Chère Madame, Nous voudrions vous remercier de nous avoir permis de profiter dans des conditions exceptionnelles de confort de votre merveilleux château. Florence nous a très bien accueillis et guidés et nous l'en remercions. Dans votre domaine, l'âme s'épanouit. La beauté est partout: dans la nature où nous avons eu le plaisir de voir s'ébattre des biches et où la forêt enserre, comme dans un écrin, l'austère bâtiment entouré de sa pelouse, son tennis et sa piscine. Les fleurs colorées donnent une touche de gaieté. Et surtout cet admirable château, impressionnant par sa force. Ni le temps, ni les hommes avec toutes leurs violences n'ont pu effacer son altière allure. L'embrasure de la fenêtre, avec son impressionnante épaisseur de pierre, donne une impression de sécurité et d'isolement qu'ont du ressentir pendant tant de siècles vos prédécesseurs, les habitants de ce merveilleux château qui apparaît un peu comme le rêve du grand Meaulnes. Grâce à vous, ce château reste un lieu de vie, de la vie de votre famille et c'est cela qui le rend si attachant.

    Mr Jean-Christophe Picard

Tous les enfants, grands et petits ont aimée le chateau et les possibilités ce qu'on pouvait faire là, comme nager, jouer au tennis, rouler la bicyclette, jeu de boules etc., même pour les plus petits et il y avait une salle de jeu à l'intérieur. Vraiment c'était une vacance inoubliable.
