The Château de Castries, known as the “little Versailles of Languedoc”, features a 17th century French-style garden designed by Le Nôtre, gardener to King Louis XIV. It was watered by the aqueduct, a unique structure in France that is also listed as a historical monument and was designed by Paul Riquet, who also designed the Canal du Midi.
From the main courtyard you can access the large terraces that have a spectacular view over the star-shaped pathways, ponds and vineyards.
