Le château en bref
On a hill overlooking the valley, south of Agen, the Château de Fals combines two periods. A medieval fortress is documented here, of which remains from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries survive, notably underground passages. It belonged to the d'Esparbès family until the eighteenth century. After 1727, Étienne de Bazon had it rebuilt in the classical taste of the time. The main building, pierced by large windows, has an orderly façade topped by a triangular pediment, with a sculpted coat of arms above the door. On the garden side, a central projection of three sides animates the elevation, flanked by two pavilions, while a square tower built against it recalls the former stronghold. The interior retains period panelling and a monolithic spiral staircase. A park extends to the west. The château has been listed as a monument historique since 23 April 1953 and remains a private residence.
