Le Manoir Lacustre Médoc: sleep in a lakeside manor in the Médoc

According to the Expedia listing it sleeps 15 to 22 people and stands beside a lake, with a heated outdoor pool, a garden, a tennis court and kayaks. It suits families and groups rather than a classic castle-hotel stay, with wine châteaux, lighthouses and Atlantic beaches within easy reach.

The history of the Médoc around Queyrac
- 12th century – Documents mention a castle called “Sparra” at Lesparre, later the seat of the lords who ruled the northern Médoc.
- c. 1320 – The keep of Lesparre castle, today the Tour de l’Honneur, is finished; it is still about 30 m high.
- 1453 – The end of the Hundred Years’ War closes almost three centuries of Anglo-Gascon rule, and Lesparre castle passes under French authority.
- 1843 – The 18 m masonry lighthouse of Richard is built on the Gironde estuary at Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac.
- 1855 – The official classification of Bordeaux wines is drawn up for the Paris Exposition; Château Lafite Rothschild is ranked a first growth.
- 1967–1968 – Hourtin-Carcans Lake joins the registered site of the Girondin lakes (1967), and its water surface becomes a classified site (1968).
- 2019 – Most of the Médoc becomes the Parc naturel régional du Médoc.
No Wikipedia article exists for this house, so the history above describes the region around it rather than the building itself. Queyrac is a Médoc commune in the middle of the vineyards, with some 180 hectares of vines and a small stream, the ruisseau des Douze Pieds, running through it.
The commune borders Bégadan, Civrac-en-Médoc, Gaillan-en-Médoc, Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac, Vendays-Montalivet and Vensac. Royan lies about 30 km away on the other side of the Gironde estuary.
