In Saint-Dizant-du-Gua, in the Charente-Maritime region, the château de Beaulon combines late Gothic lines from the end of the 15th century with Renaissance additions made some thirty years later. A monumental flamboyant dormer window stands out, along with an Italian-style staircase decorated with fluted columns and antique-style busts, added around 1530. The estate, surrounded by vineyards producing pineau and cognac, is also known for the artesian springs in its park, called the Fontaines bleues, recognized as a remarkable garden.
