Château de Portets stands in Portets (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Portets, in the Gironde region, this 18th-century château stands on the site of a medieval fortress overlooking the marshlands of the Garonne river. The estate, now a working vineyard within the graves appellation, still bears traces of its defensive past, including an old tower and remnants of firing positions. Visitors can also see the Gascq tower, a standalone 18th-century structure whose original purpose remains unclear. Napoleon and Joséphine stopped here in 1808, delayed by unfavorable tides on the Garonne.
