Parts of the chateau date back to the 12th century, with the pigeonnier being added in the 14th century followed by more buildings in the 17th century. The chateau has a wealth of history, once owned by the King of France and bequeathed to the bishop of Uzes.

Weddings and events are limited to the 20 people staying at the property and there is an extra charge of 1000 Euro.
