WELCOME TO CHATEAU DE PITRAY
About the Chateau
Chateau de Pitray is located between the Gironde and Dordogne departments; 1.5 hours from Bordeaux airport, 30 minutes from Saint-Émilion, and 45 minutes from Bergerac. The spacious terrace of the chateau faces South, overlooking the majestic Dordogne River and is surrounded by an 8-acre park featuring century-old trees, ornamental ponds and lawns.
Chateau de Pitray is a 17th century stately home. The origin of the name Pitray is “pic rey” or pic du Roy, which means a royal house. In 1624 the chateau belonged to the family of the Countess of Ségur and the Earl of Pitray.
