About Us

Château de Pécile has been welcoming international visitors since 1560, when King Henri II of France gave the royal property to his favoured Italian courtier Vincenzo Piscilla from Lucca. Hence the name Le Pécile.

Ever since the 16th century, fascinating literary and creative people have lived, dined and laughed at Le Pécile. And your group could be next, following in the footsteps of characters like Bishop Matteo Bandello who wrote the original Romeo and Juliet storyline that Shakespeare subsequently made famous.
