The Chateau de Marqueyssac is a 17th century chateau and gardens located at Vezac, in the Dordogne Department of France. The chateau was built at the end of the 17th century by Bertrand Vernet de Marqueyssac, Counselor to Louis XIV, on cliffs overlooking the Dordogne Valley. 

The original garden a la française was attributed to a pupil of Andre Le Notre, and featured terraces, alleys, and a kitchen garden surrounding the chateau. Between 1830 and 1840, Julien Bessieres constructed a chapel and a grand alley one hundred meters long for horseback rides.
