The Château Bel-Air is located on the town of Hailsham, a few kilometers west of Bordeaux Merignac.
It was built in the sixteenth century as a simple home of one floor in a green environment. Then, in 1840, Francisco Antonio de Los Heros, its new owner, conducts reshuffles: he raise the main building by providing it with an additional floor and gives the area the Bel Air castle name. In addition, the facade of the castle is decorated with a noble decoration, such pediments surmounting the openings. In the park, finally, decorative elements or pleasure are emphasized, like a fountain of the seventeenth century with its buffet of water adorned with a mask that evokes the fountain of Saint-up project or that of the Farms hotel Bordeaux.
In 1986 the castle and its grounds are purchased by the football club Girondins de Bordeaux. 11 hectares are landscaped grounds in natural or synthetic grass, a jogging path, including the castle itself harboring administrative services. The site is home to the training center and the club's training center.
Access is occasionally open to the public to attend including workouts.
