This château in Brocas, inside the Landes de Gascogne regional park, is listed on Expedia under the name “Château pour 24 personnes”. It is a large holiday let with an outdoor pool, fireplaces, a full kitchen and a games room. The listing does not name the building, so this guide presents it as a group stay and introduces the village around it, shaped by a 19th-century ironworks.
The listing is called “Château pour 24 personnes”, and Expedia presents it as a château for families and groups with a private host. It is a self-catering holiday let rather than a hotel, so it suits a family reunion, a wedding party or a group of friends who want the whole house to themselves. The listing does not give the building a name; the village does have a château of its own, the Château d’Aon, but nothing confirms that it is the same building.
According to Expedia, the rooms come with private pools and fireplaces, and the property has an outdoor pool, a garden with a barbecue, deck chairs and outdoor furniture, a children’s playground and a games room with a billiard table and arcade games. The photos show a grand staircase with an ornate metal balustrade and chandelier, a rustic dining room with a brick fireplace, and a stone building with a large garden.
Inside, the listing mentions four bathrooms with bath or shower, hair dryers, TVs, a dining table, a fully equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, kettle, toaster), an iron, a laundry with dryer, bed linen and central heating. Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and a café and a restaurant are a 3 to 6 minute walk away.
The blast furnace of Brocas, restored beside the pond, is the best-known relic of the Landes iron industry, which drew on local “garluche” iron ore, pine charcoal and the river. The forge complex, with furnace, mill, workshop, barn, dam and hydraulic works, has been listed as a historic monument since 2006.
The timeline above concerns the village and its surroundings; the sources consulted do not say whether the listing’s château is the Château d’Aon or another building.
The details below come from the Expedia listing (as of 14 Oct 2026); what is included may vary.
Brocas lies in the Landes department, in the Landes de Gascogne regional park, on the Estrigon river. Mont-de-Marsan, the departmental capital, is about 18 km away, and the village of Labrit about 6 km. According to Expedia, Ygos station is roughly 20 minutes away by car, so a car is the practical choice.
In the village itself, a café is a 3-minute walk and a restaurant a 6-minute walk away, according to the listing. The Forges Museum, the blast furnace, the Château d’Aon and the bullring are all within about 600 metres of the listing’s position.
Further out are the remains of the Labrit castle (about 6 km), Mont-de-Marsan with its medieval centre (about 18 km) and the abbey of Saint-Sever (about 32 km), a stop on the pilgrim routes to Santiago.
