Basking in the hot southern countryside of France, an imposing golden castle stands tall above the rolling green hills.
Not only steeped in history, it holds secrets that set it apart from the rest…

For over 900 years the same family has held this land, they first constructed here in 1133, and upon these original foundations was this grand chateau built in 1740.

You are greeted by a vast marble entrance hall with doorways leading off in every direction, as we look up, we can still see its hunting heritage, trophies from centuries of shooting parties peer down from the walls.
This was a popular hunting lodge for the rich, due to its location and vast size.

After the hunt the guests would be invited to the grand dinning hall for a feast.
The 18th century dinning table remains here to this day, along with some unusual decorations.

There would’ve often been magnificent parties and events, the family enjoyed entertaining friends, which leads us to the 18th century theatre, decorated in 1740’s style, complete with a golden sun. This is one of the only chateaux with this unique feature.

As we move through the dimly lit rooms, you begin to smell the library before you find it, home to many thousands of antique books, collected over its 280 years.

A total of 25 bedrooms and six bathrooms are spread across its 5 stories.
Each one decorated in a unique style.
Although one stands out from the rest, this exquisite 1800s wallpaper was specially created for this chamber, this one is so unique as it was once showcased at New Yorks Museum of Art before being returned here.

All of the paintings seen throughout were also specially commissioned to depict life at the chateau.

We venture up into the top levels of the house and into the attic, where we find the medicine room, and an office with more clues about the previous owners life.

Down beneath the castle, we move through subterranean passages leading to lofty vaulted rooms, still filled with resources.

Priced at 12 million some years ago but it’s perhaps not fit for modern day use and may sadly remain at risk for the foreseeable future,
Join us as we step inside and unravel all of its secrets.
