Château de Peixotto is an 18th-century neoclassical 'folie' built around 1760 by architect François Lhote for Samuel Peixotto, a prominent Bordeaux banker. The elegant estate exemplifies Louis XVI-era aesthetics with its symmetrical facade, grand columns, and meticulously detailed ornamentation, surrounded by formal French gardens reflecting the original owner's refined taste and social prominence. Located in Talence near Bordeaux, the château has been inscribed as a historic monument since 1935 and now hosts the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Bordeaux, seamlessly blending historical preservation with educational and scientific purpose within its parkland setting.
