Manoir de Montesquiou stands in La Malène (Lozère), in the Occitanie region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set in the Tarn gorges at La Malène, the manoir de Montesquiou is a 15th-century residence that narrowly avoided demolition. Owned by the Montesquiou family, it was due to be razed in the 17th century under an order from Louis XIII, until a royal exception spared the estate. The building was converted into a hotel in the 20th century, which shapes how the site can be visited today.
