Description for B&B:
The king of France, known as Saint Louis, began the re-conquest of Aquitaine, a part of his kingdom that had been under English rule for centuries. In 1638, the "seneschal," Lord of Mouillepied, had to pay homage to the Count of Taillebourg. In the 18th century, Château Mouillepied was expanded by Guillaume Clairins des Lauriers, the chief engineer of the Rochefort Arsenal and a knight of Saint Michel. The château transformed into a beautiful classical house with terraced gardens, ponds, and aesthetic stone walls.The name "Mouillepied" derives from the numerous springs on the property. It is located two kilometers away from the picturesque and historic village of Taillebourg, where the famous Battle of Taillebourg took place in 1242, immortalized by Delacroix in 1837. Saint Louis initiated the re-conquest of Aquitaine, which had been under English rule for centuries. In 1638, the Lord of Mouillepied, known as the "seneschal," had to pay homage to the Count of Taillebourg.
