Château in Thézac: a night in an 18-hectare château in Lot-et-Garonne

This château in Thézac, in Lot-et-Garonne, is presented by Expedia as an 18-hectare estate with a heated pool, a floodlit tennis court and a grand piano. The listing does not give its name; it describes a château for families in open countryside in the Quercy Blanc, close to the Lot border. A place to stay in a château about thirty kilometres from Cahors.

Staying in a château in Thézac: an 18-hectare estate for families

To stay in this château in Thézac is to choose a large country house rather than a conventional hotel. The Expedia listing, run by a private host, highlights the 18-hectare estate, the heated outdoor pool, the floodlit tennis court and a grand piano, and files the address among châteaux for families. The listing photos show a stone house with an arched gateway and red shutters, a gravel courtyard, a lounge with floral sofas and a kitchen with wooden cupboards.

The listing mentions rooms with fireplaces or private pools, plus practical extras: free Wi-Fi in every room at over 100 Mbps, a printer, bed linen and towels, a hairdryer and a bidet. It counts 7.5 bathrooms, which gives an idea of the size of the house. The kitchen is complete, with a central island, dishwasher, hob, fridge, ice maker, crockery and spices.

Outside there is a garden with furniture and a barbecue, a children’s playground, board games, bicycles and a kayak, a fitness area and a table-tennis table. Children and outdoor lovers will be well served. Housekeeping is only available on a limited basis, so plan on a largely self-catering stay.

The heritage around Thézac: megaliths, fortresses and châteaux

• Megalithic era – The Bosc necropolis, 4 km away, groups passage graves and burial mounds; locally it is called the “Tombs of the Giants”.
• 11th century – At Fumel, a tower already belongs to the Fumel family, who control the crossing between the Agenais, the Quercy and the Périgord.
• 1259–1271 – A first castle is built at Bonaguil; it is first mentioned in 1271.
• 1480–1510 – Bérenger de Roquefeuil rebuilds Bonaguil entirely as a fortress designed for artillery.
• 16th century – The Château du Bosc is built on an older seat; at Fumel, the present château is raised by François I de Fumel (1551–1561).
• 1677 – At the Trichot, in Thézac itself, a new block housing the staircase is built against the first one, dating from the 16th or early 17th century.
• 1765 – The Nicolas de Lisleferme family acquires Le Bosc and rebuilds the château; the estate becomes a major wine estate.
• 1951–1996 – Fumel (1951), Le Bosc (1952) and the Trichot (1996) are listed as historic monuments.

The Expedia listing says nothing about the history of the château itself, and no reference article about it could be found, so nothing has been invented. What can be told with certainty is the rich history of the surrounding country, on the border between the Agenais and the Quercy.

In the village of Thézac itself stands the Château (or manor) du Trichot, listed as a historic monument in 1996; it is separate from the accommodation described here, which nothing allows us to identify with it. Within about fifteen kilometres you pass from megalithic tombs to the fortress of Bonaguil by way of Renaissance châteaux.
