Chateau with private pool in a large tree and a park in a formal French style

The origins of the chateaux dates back to the 14th century when the Aquitaine region was ruled by kings of England. In the 18th century the king of France authorised the construction of the noble house of Vieux Fourens. In the past 25 years the chateaux has been lovingly and authentically restored by its present owners Philippe and Marie George. There are two further outbuildings and a chapel on the grounds of the chateaux. The chapel dates back to the 16th century. It has a crypt and a fountain and if interested the owners would be pleased to tell you the history behind it. Located in the vineyards of Bordeaux you take the long and charming drive through the woods of its own to reach the chateaux in its well kept grounds.
