Château de Pennautier is a 17th-century historic monument and family estate located in Languedoc, approximately 10 km from Carcassonne's iconic ramparts. Built in 1620 and visited by King Louis XIII in 1622, the château showcases Versailles-inspired architecture with contributions from renowned architects Le Vau and landscaper Le Nôtre. The property encompasses an impressive orangery and Louis XIV gallery set within formal French gardens. As one of the region's celebrated wineries, Pennautier's wines have been served at royal tables since the 17th century. Guided tours are available, and the expansive park can be explored freely year-round.
