Château de Gageac and its cedar avenue

Lecture éditoriale
The record tells the château’s medieval story and describes the oblong main block with its square machicolated towers and mullioned windows inside a court closed by ramparts, with a Louis XIV door and wrought-iron knocker in the inner courtyard. It says nothing of the grounds. The cedar avenue photographed here is documented only by its image, which notes it was badly damaged in the storm of December 1999.
