Duras Castle, located in Lot-et-Garonne, is a restored medieval fortress boasting remarkable architecture and magnificent views. It is a major historical monument in the region.

Beautiful view of the vineyards and the Marquay mill.

Nice climb up to Duras, best enjoyed at a comfortable pace being sure to keep something in reserve to blast out over the top!

A literary - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - monument has been set by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills, with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : His tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the “knight of the sad figure”, wants to defeat them in a duel in one episode, believing that he is competing against giants with four arms.

Windmill nestled among the vineyards.

Since 1970 the Château de Duras has been classified as a historic monument. It is an imposing castle, which can be seen from afar.

Wines are produced in Duras and in the surrounding municipality, the Côtes de Duras. An important sight is the castle of Duras.
