Description
A place where Maurice and Eugénie de Guérin, the romantic poets of the early 19th century, lived and drew inspiration. The Cayla estate, with its ancient countryside atmosphere, invites you to take time to combine landscape and literature.
A castle dedicated to literature:
A traditional Languedoc manor house, built from the 15th to the 19th century, the Château du Cayla has become a departmental museum hosting exhibitions and literary events. This is due to the fact that it was the birthplace of the romantic poet Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839) and his sister Eugénie (1805-1848). A prose writer and poet whose work was at the crossroads of the religious romanticism of Chateaubriand and the "poetic modernity" of Baudelaire and Mallarmé, the châtelain du Cayla was published by George Sand. Valuable pages from her diary 'Le Cahier Vert' recall her affection for the place. We also owe a diary to his sister, a first-rate document on the mentality of Tarn life in the 19th century.
