Coming to Cayla means falling under the spell of a place that has retained its bucolic authenticity. In the heart of the vineyard, this Languedoc manor house still quivers with the invisible presence of the writers Maurice de Guérin and his sister Eugénie.
In the heart of the vineyards, between Cordes-sur-Ciel and Gaillac, this traditional Languedoc manor house is the birthplace of the romantic poet Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839), known for his prose poems “Le Centaure” and “La Bacchante”, and his journal “Le Cahier Vert”.
His sister Eugénie (1805-1848) wrote a diary for him, which constitutes a precious testimony to life in Tarn in the XNUMXth century.
The Museum, in addition to the visit to the castle, hosts cultural events throughout the year around poetry, literature and the arts.
In the park, hiking trails, including a literary trail, encourage strolling and are all ways to experience the very special atmosphere of this place.
