Tucked into the picturesque countryside of southern France lies a truly exceptional hunting experience—one where centuries of tradition, unspoiled landscapes, and refined hospitality come together. This estate, remarkably held by the same family since the 13th century, offers more than just a hunt; it provides access to a way of life that has endured through the ages. For the past 15 years, the family’s château has been quietly welcoming guests, giving a privileged few the opportunity to immerse themselves in both world-class roe deer hunting and the rich cultural heritage of the region.
The property itself spans a vast and varied landscape, featuring everything from dramatic cliff faces to gently rolling fields. The terrain is as diverse as it is beautiful, and the hunt is tailored to suit a wide range of physical abilities. Early morning and late evening outings take advantage of the natural movements of the roe deer, while the middle of the day is left open for guests to explore, relax, or enjoy the slower rhythms of French countryside life. With hunting grounds located just 30 to 45 minutes from the château, the schedule is both productive and unhurried—allowing for both adventure and leisure.
This is an ideal trip for couples, with spouses warmly encouraged to join. The château offers elegant accommodations and an inviting atmosphere, making it just as appealing to the non-hunter as to the sportsman. Over the course of five days and four nights, guests will enjoy six guided outings and the opportunity to harvest up to two roe deer, with no trophy fees. Additional roe may be taken for $1,500 each. From the moment you’re picked up at Toulouse airport—just an hour from the estate—everything is taken care of, including transfers, fine French meals, wine, and full lodging.
Whether you’re looking to pursue the graceful roe deer through historic lands or share an unforgettable experience with your partner in one of the most scenic corners of France, this premier castle-based hunt delivers something rare: authenticity, quality, and a sense of timeless connection to the land.
