Once upon a time Montaut-les-Créneaux
With all the charm and character of yesteryear, this village is the stuff of fairytales.

A charming place
This hamlet has retained its medieval richness especially with its half-timbered and stone houses.
The town is arranged around a central street that was once protected at either end by a gate. The street passes through the middle of a market hall.
The private 12th-century castle is surrounded by landscaped grounds. It is made up of two wings off a central dungeon. The upper part is crenelated, which explains the origin of the name “Montaut-les-Créneaux“.
A bucolic atmosphere
The village of Montaut-les-Créneaux offers a rural environment with :
- Small public gardens newly landscaped,
- Footpaths departing from the castle, including the castle loop and Philat woodland walks;
- The “Coeur de Gascogne” GR footpath crosses through the village
