Château de Carles stands in Saillans (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château de Carles stands north of Saillans, in the Gironde, on a working wine estate. Its medieval towers, one topped with a crenellated walkway, reflect several building phases dating back to the 16th century. The estate owes part of its literary fame to family ties with Montaigne and La Boétie, and later to the Countess of Boufflers, a noted figure of Enlightenment-era salons. The south terrace, laid out at the end of the 19th century and planted with cypress trees, looks out over the Isle valley toward Fronsac and Libourne.
