Hébergement Historique
Questionnaire
Année de construction : 1755
Quel est l'histoire de la propriété ?
Unfortunately local archives cannot supply sufficient information about original owners but we know that at some stage the chateau was a summer residence of one of Napoleon's generals.
Given the architecture and the location of the house we think it was rather a bourgeois house than an aristocratic residence. Although the presence of the tympanum on the facade and the lack of internal decoration (usually a coat of arms / family insignia) may indicate the removal of aristocratic emblems during the Great Revolution.
Quelle était l'époque et/ou le style architectural dans lequel la propriété a été construite ?
Louis XV
Le bien est-il entouré d'autres bâtiments historiques ?
There are further historical buildings on site like stables, dovecote or the Orangery. The property is situated 14 km from a historical town of Pezenas (most buildings date back to the 16th century) well known of Molier.
Des travaux de restauration ont-ils eu lieu ?
Yes. We started the renovation works in 2014 and conducting it in several stages (converting all existing buildings into accommodation, SPA and wine tasting room) we terminated in 2018.
Le bâtiment présente-t-il des éléments d'une importance historique particulière ?
We managed to restore a couple of mosaic floors, one of the guest rooms suites has a stucco decorated ceiling, we preserved 19th century troughs which are exposed in one of the gîtes, several rooms have oryginal fire places. In our kitchen we discovered a 16th century bread oven. The property is full of antique furniture and garden statues/fountains.
Y a-t-il des invités importants ou des propriétaires précédents qui méritent d'être mentionnés ?
In terms of our guests we try to keep their privacy and do not announce to the world whom we host, sorry. In terms of previous owners, as mentioned before, the house used to be a summer residence of one of Napoleon's generals.
Y a-t-il des événements importants qui ont eu lieu sur la propriété dans le passé ?
Outside of many weddings (each one is significant to that couple :) we participated in the 1st in France festival "Nuits au Chateaux" in 2019.
Décririez-vous votre propriété comme (ou l'a-t-elle déjà été dans le passé) un : Y a-t-il quelque chose que vous aimeriez souligner, ajouter ou clarifier ?
The property is surrounded by a 200 years of park of 2,ha and 25ha of our own vineyards. Vines had been cultivated in the area for centuries and must have always been an integral part of the chateau's life.
