The castle has variable opening hours. In August, we found the gates closed. It only opens at 2:30 PM.

A tree has knocked down part of the bank at the start of the trail, but it's still passable even by bike.

The Château de Villandraut is a medieval castle located in the town of Villandraut, in the department of Gironde, France. Built in the 14th century, it is considered one of the best examples of military Gothic architecture in the region. Villandraut Castle was built under the order of Bertrand de Goth, future Pope Clement V, who wanted to reside there after being elected Pope. The castle was then used as a residence for the French royal family during the Wars of Religion. The castle of Villandraut is surrounded by moats and has a drawbridge, a walkway and several imposing towers. It also houses a chapel, a great hall and royal apartments. The castle is open to visitors who can discover its history and architecture through guided tours, exhibitions and cultural events organized throughout the year.

This castle is well worth seeing, but only in the season to visit. But even the small town is worth a visit, especially at market time. You can sit there very nicely outside in a restaurant.
