Château-musée du Cayla
Andillac | 81
A dialogue between nature and writing, in the heart of a Gaillac vineyard, the Chateau-museum Cayla is a writer’s house that serves as a meeting place where literary landscape, natural landscape and contemporary creation come together.
The birthplace of the romantic poet, Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839) and his sister, Eugénie (1805-1848) this traditional Languedoc mansion provided a source of inspiration and creation for the artists. Visitors can learn about the Tarn lifestyle during the 19th century thanks to the archives and objects belonging to the Guérin family.
The out-of-time, intimate nature of the landscape lends itself to strolling and daydreaming. The hiking trails, including a “poetic trail”, allow the public to soak up the very special atmosphere of Cayla.
