The Château

Take the whole fortress for your own — grand suites, salons, a walnut library and a vaulted dining room, in complete privacy.

The Whole Estate

The Fortress, Entirely Yours

For a milestone celebration, a family gathering or a private retreat, the main château is available for exclusive use. Behind its medieval walls are grand salons, a walnut library, a vaulted dining room and a kitchen — and a handful of suites reached by the spiral stair of the octagonal tower. Beyond the doors lie the gardens, the outdoor pool and Vela Bains Privé, the cave à vins, and forty-five hectares of organic land, yours alone for the length of your stay.

The château is run with quiet, exacting care — staffed by silver-service-trained stewardesses, many drawn from service aboard the world's largest private yachts — and a private chef can be arranged to cook for you throughout your stay.

The Spaces

Rooms with a Past

Restored over a decade with walnut, lime paint and hand-painted tile — historic substance, modern comfort.

Reception Rooms

The Salons & Library

Light-filled salons beneath beamed ceilings and great stone fireplaces — for gathering, music and long evenings — and the walnut library, its shelves, floors and joinery made on the estate in the château's own carpentry shop.

Dining

The Dining Rooms

From a candlelit medieval vaulted room to the formal dining room glazed on every side — long-table dinners drawn from the cave à vins.

The grand ballroom and further spaces will join these galleries as their photography is completed.

The Suites

Where You'll Stay

Three grand suites occupy the main château, each opening onto its own expansive private salon.

  • King Louis Suite · 55 m²

    On the highest floor, with a view to the Dévoluy massif — a private salon and an antique bed, grand in its day and intimate by modern measure.

  • Lord's Suite · 105 m²

    the grandest of the three, with a private salon and a kitchen of its own.

  • Chapel · 55 m²

    graced with a particularly expansive private salon.

Two further rooms complete the château — Les Demoiselles and Dame Marie.

Queen beds throughout, two in Les Demoiselles; an ensuite WC in every room but Les Demoiselles.
