In Bayon-sur-Gironde, on the hillsides of the Bourgeais area, château Falfas was built in 1612 and has kept its original structure intact ever since. Its rectangular main building, flanked by two square pavilions, still shows a carved entrance door topped by a bretèche, along with mullioned windows framed by carved masks and faces.
