Château de la Motte stands in Bardigues (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the countryside of Tarn-et-Garonne, the château de la Motte stands at the end of a long tree-lined drive, its 18th-century façade overlooking a courtyard of honour with a marble fountain from Campan. Rebuilt in the third quarter of the 18th century on the foundations of an older manor, it keeps refined interiors with panelling, decorative plasterwork and fireplaces spanning two centuries. Still home to the family that farms the surrounding estate, it opens to visitors particularly during European Heritage Days.
