Questionario
Anno di costruzione: 1755
Qual è la storia dell'immobile?
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.
Qual è l'epoca e/o lo stile architettonico in cui è stato costruito l'immobile?
Louis XV
L'immobile è circondato da altri edifici storici?
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.
Sono stati eseguiti lavori di restauro?
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.
Ci sono elementi di particolare importanza storica nell'edificio?
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.
Ci sono ospiti importanti o proprietari precedenti che meritano di essere menzionati?
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.
Ci sono eventi significativi che hanno avuto luogo nella proprietà in passato?
Outside of many weddings (each one is significant to that couple :) we participated in the 1st in France festival "Nuits au Chateaux" in 2019.
Descriverebbe la sua proprietà come (o lo è mai stata in passato) un: C'è qualcosa che vorrebbe sottolineare, aggiungere o chiarire?
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.
