Wingshooting · Dordogne, France · Est. 12th Century
Most wingshooting experiences give you a guide and a field. Jean du Lau d'Allemans gives you 35 years of elite coaching, 1,235 private acres, and a château his family has owned since the 12th century.
The Shooting School
After 35 years and thousands of students, he can identify your specific fault — your mount, your timing, your eye dominance, your read of the bird — usually within the first few drives. Then he fixes it. Not with theory. With repetition, on live birds, on 1,235 private acres, until it's gone.
Guests leave Montardy shooting with a confidence they didn't have before. Not because they learned new rules — because the old problems aren't there anymore.
Three days is enough. Jean has fixed in an afternoon what other coaches couldn't solve in a season.

The Estate
Château de Montardy has never been sold, converted, or opened to the public. This is not a commercial property. It is a private estate — and your access to it is rare by design.
1,235 private acres. Purpose-built shooting stands. One party at a time.

Unspoiled valleys, medieval villages, Michelin-starred restaurants and truffle markets. The Dordogne is one of the main reasons to come to Montardy.



You will leave shooting in an entirely different way, and you will have eaten some of the finest meals of your life doing it, overlooking one of the most beautiful valleys in France. That is Montardy.
