The château de Valmirande stands at Montréjeau, at the centre of an estate laid out at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for a wealthy young heir with a passion for the mountains. The building, inspired by the great Loire Valley residences, is set within a wooded park that opens onto views of the Pyrenees. Visits focus on the grounds and outbuildings, as the château itself remains a private, furnished residence.
