As if the pointed spires atop the carved windows weren’t romantic enough, the grounds at Chateau de Breze are also home to 29 hectares (74 acres) of vineyards. The château itself was built in the 11th century, but the only part of the structure still intact from its early days is the drawbridge. After your tour of the family home, ask to sample some of the house wines, but be careful not to drink too much before touring the fortress beneath your feet. That’s right, this castle rests on an intricate maze of tunnels that were an important component of its defense strategy in days gone by. With its steep walks and tight spaces, the underground is best toured with a clear head. Use our Breze journey builder app to arrange your visit to Chateau de Breze and other attractions in Breze.

Good experiance but difficulty walking in places. Toilets closed and no where to get refreshments

A time travel in the history of the castle and the lifestyle of the troglodyte people. The highlights for me where the impressive dry pit around the castle and the troglodyte galeries and rooms (bakerie, wine rooms, silk producing and so on). That's a must see if you visit the region.

One of the best places to visit in the region. Amazing castle, steeped in history. We enjoyed a picnic in the grounds before exploring the main castle and the subterranean tunnels which are fascinating. Sampled the wines they make (we saw them harvesting in the vineyards on the way in) and had to get a bottle or two to enjoy later.
-
Fascinating place to visit, although there is very little to see in the " upstairs" Chateau. If you are tall be aware that you will have to stoop in some places but the history and caves make it a very interesting place to visit. Although when we visited in June/ July there were a lot of biting insects around so go prepared.
