Castel-Sarrazin
Castel-Sarrazin (French pronunciation: [kastɛl saʁazɛ̃]; Occitan: Sarrasins) is a commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
Castel-Sarrazin is the hometown of the top ranking Michelin starred chef Alain Ducasse.
It is mentioned with fondness in the memoirs of Sir John Kincaid. ‘Castle Sarrazin is a respectable little town on the right bank of the Garonne; and its inhabitants received us so kindly, that every officer found in his quarter a family home.’
