This historic South of France Chateau set in the heart of the Languedoc region near Narbonne and Beziers, dates back to the 12th century and was one of a line of fortified castles used to resist the 13th century Crusades against the Cathars.

With numerous changes over the centuries, the Chateau exhibits different styles of architecture, from the stark 12th century to the beautiful windows of the Renaissance period.

Inside, with its vast halls, library, lounges, dining rooms, comfortable bedrooms and kitchen, this medieval setting lends itself to being an amazing South of France holiday rental accommodation to share with friends and family, or is ideal for weddings, concerts, seminars, film/photo shoots, parties and other events.

Client Comments

We had a fantastic time at the chateau for our wedding. It worked perfectly and all of the guests loved the setting so much. In the end, eating indoors was great as everyone got to see the chateau inside which added an extra buzz. The great thing about this venue is there are so many inside and outside settings so that there is a beautiful option for every weather possibility! Martine has a good list of contacts that we used for babysitting, cleaning and cooking for other days we stayed. The owners definitely liked to be hands on and were there for every meeting and on the day itself. Natasha and Nick, May 2019
