Manual

In the 17th century, the heir of Beaulon, Monseigneur de Nesmond, the Bishop of Bayeux, and an advisor to King Louis XIV, made the castle available to the bishops of Bordeaux. They would have a decisive influence on its vineyards. To the northwest of the castle, a round dovecote dates back to the year 1740. In those times, it was a privilege of the nobility to own a dovecote. Inherited since 1712, the Beaulon castle has belonged to Christian THOMAS.
