In Châteaubernard, cultural history, local festivals, music and water activities come together. Those who have chosen Châteaubernard as their holiday destination can plan their stay around the idea of renting a holiday apartment.
Culture and history
The Chapelle des Templiers is the only surviving relic of the Templar commandery of Châteaubernard. Its stylistic and architectural features suggest that it was built around 1150 to 1160. The chapel also contains a liturgical inscription dating from 1531.
The restored Dolmen de la Combe des Dames dates back to around 2400 BC. The capstone and one orthostat have survived; they were re-erected in 1976 together with new orthostats. Today, the area around the Chapelle des Templiers is laid out as a park with tall chestnut trees.
The Fête des Templiers included a sound-and-light show as well as cultural events focusing on the Middle Ages and the period of the Templars.
Festivals and music
The Fête du Pain et de la caillebotte has been held every spring for around 30 years, with several hundred caillebottes prepared each time. Visitors can enjoy caillebottes on site or take them away.
Castel’Odies brings together local choirs of amateur singers conducted by professional choir directors. Audiences can hear a varied repertoire of sacred and secular choral music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century.
Water and leisure
The X’eau Centre aquatique at the Pôle des Vauzelles in Châteaubernard is open year-round. The X’Eau Centre aquatique has three pools: a sports pool, a teaching and leisure pool, and a paddling pool. The sports and leisure area of the X’Eau Centre aquatique also features a 50-metre-long slide.
