The Ch\u00e2teau de Pitray<\/strong> stands on land that has been inhabited for over 10<\/strong>, 000 years<\/strong>, as evidenced by a prehistoric dolmen<\/strong> nestled in the park. This mysterious relic serves as a reminder that this place has always drawn people, generation after generation.<\/p>\r\n

Owned by the same family for 26 generations<\/strong>, Pitray embodies a rare and precious continuity. The first known mention of this lineage dates back to 1466<\/strong>, when Jehan de Las Simas<\/strong>, known as Simard<\/strong>, acquired a parcel of vineyards in Saint-\u00c9milion<\/strong>. This pivotal moment occurred a few years after the Battle of Castillon<\/strong> (1453), which brought an end to the Hundred Years\u2019 War<\/strong> and ushered in a new era of civil peace for the region. It was during this period that the first feudal manor house at Pitray<\/strong> was built.<\/p>\r\n

In the following century, the estate was remodeled by Marguerite de Pellegrue<\/strong>, Lady of Pitray and a member of one of the branches of the S\u00e9gur<\/strong> family. Although no document formally confirms it, tradition holds that Montaigne<\/strong>\u2014whose ch\u00e2teau is located less than an hour\u2019s ride away\u2014was a regular visitor to Pitray.<\/p>\r\n

Over the centuries, the family\u2019s ancestors have included several distinguished figures<\/strong> who have left their mark on French history:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
