General & History
The chateau is one of the most exquisite private estates in Provence. Situated in the heart of the Rhone valley, within easy reach of Avignon, St Remy, Aix-en-Provence and the Carmargue area by the sea, which is famous for its horses and bird-life.
This Estate's glorious, fully enclosed landscape embraces 17 acres of mature wooded parkland, elegant formal gardens, orchards, streams and an exciting array of sports facilities. At its heart lies the jewel-like Château itself, set as a final flourish at the end of a long avenue of ancient plane trees.
The Estate comprises the Château with 9 double/twin bedrooms & the adjacent Farm with 7 double/twin bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms.
Beautifully restored by the present owners to reflect its pure 18th century design, the Château has a sophisticated refinement, which is enhanced by its eclectic collection of antiques. The 21st century technology is also discreetly present. There is air-conditioning throughout and each room has its own internet connection and mobile phone with voice mail. With its adjacent 18th century Farm building, Conference Room/Salon Provençal, its Business Centre, extensive sports facilities and an astonishing pool, the chateau is a property for all seasons.
The chateau is located between Carpentras and Orange near Avignon, Provence (20 minutes by car from the Estate). From Paris to Avignon, it is 2.5 hours by the non-stop TGV super express train, and 50 minutes by air.
The present Owners bought the Château from Mr. Giorgi in September, 1984. They then spent six years in restoring the Château to its original XVIII century state by using either XVIII century building materials, flooring and wood paneling or perfect reproductions where XVIII century materials were unavailable. In addition, before undertaking the restoration work, the entire Château was reduced to its bare stone work and then totally rebuilt, incorporating the latest technology in telecommunications, plumbing, wiring and central heating/cooling. At the same time, the Estate's parks, communicating streams, moat and gardens were all restored and replanted to produce a harmonious whole.
