PARCOURS DES 7 FOLIES DE CROUSEILLES

Through the "7 Folies de Crouseilles", a real artistic journey located around the Château, we invite you to discover with family or friends, various poetic and evocative sculptures.
Each stage of the itinerary speaks to all sensibilities, they arouse curiosity, emotion, invite you to ask yourself, to have simple gestures with things, to look differently, to experience sensations. In addition to its educational aspect, the "7 Folies" embody the values of Creuseilles: wine, culture, heritage and the Pyrenees.

#1 Gazebo: Take a look at our universe Our gazebo offers you different points of view to discover in your turn all the rich landscape of Madiran. Our castles, our vineyards, our built heritage, our biodiversity and the Pyrenees, that's all the identity of Madiran!

#2 The perfect balance: Like a winegrower, build a perfect balance with patience and skill It's up to you to build a cairn, by associating one by one the different stages of the vine, you will thus leave a symbol of your passage. Patience and skill, the watchwords of the winemaker, will be essential for you to achieve this perfect balance.

#3 La Clé des sols: In front of you the allegory of our most beautiful terroirs Allegory of our hillsides, key to our terroirs, we have chosen to bring our subsoil out of the ground. The Clé des Sols thus represents our asymmetrical hillsides as well as the different geological layers that compose them.

#4 Moving heaven and earth: Our climate, as a reflection of our wines Our vineyards and in particular our late harvests are intimately linked to our climate. The influence of the sky on our soil, allows us each year to harvest our last plots until the beginning of winter. This mirror allows us to mix the different elements that make up our Pacherenc: sky, Pyrenees and vines.

#5 Long live the living: Nature is watching you It is usual to observe, to analyze the nature that surrounds us, to understand it, to apprehend it. Today, we invite you to feel watched by it and to ask yourself how our actions will be perceived.

#6 Portrait of the engineer: Architect of great terroirs and friend of the winegrower “The plow is one of man's most precious inventions; but long before it existed, the soil was in fact regularly plowed by earthworms and it will never cease to be so again. It is doubtful that there are many other animals as important as these creatures, of such inferior organization." C. DARWIN

#7 Let's go back to the château… Since 1950, we have been attached to the values of the spirit of cooperation which allow us to better promote the vineyard and our work: the passion for our Pyrenean terroir, respect for Béarnaise and Occitan traditions, the desire for equitable, shared and sustainable development and technical mastery in the service of quality, that is our philosophy!
