Castel-Sarrazin (in French pronounced as /kastɛl saʁazɛ̃/; Occitan (post 1500);: Sarrasins) is a commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.[2]
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.’[3]
