A thousand years of history converge with contemporary luxury in this exceptional château, a masterpiece of restoration set moments from the celebrated town of Uzes. Originating in the 11th century, then enriched by the Renaissance and Classical eras and where the celebrated writer Racine reputedly wrote some of his works, the turnkey residence today has been meticulously reimagined for modern living while preserving the architectural integrity and romance of its remarkable past.

Extending to more than 1,200 m2, the chateau unfolds around the vaulted internal courtyard, garden, terraces and swimming pool. Exposed stone walls, vaulted halls, mullioned windows and grand staircases reveal its medieval heritage, while bespoke contemporary design interventions introduce an understated sense of sophistication throughout. Every space has been crafted to balance historic character with effortless comfort.

Magnificent reception rooms provide an extraordinary setting for entertaining, from soaring salons and elegant dining spaces to intimate lounges and private suites. The professional kitchen combines state-of-the-art functionality with timeless craftsmanship, while a cinema room, fitness studio, bar, hammam spa and games room transform the château into a private retreat of international calibre. A wine cellar carved into the building's historic fabric further enhances its appeal.

The chateau is arranged across two wings plus a separate guest house.

The Medieval Wing
This medieval wing dates back to the 11th century and forms the original fabric of the building. It has been carefully preserved and restored, while being sensitively upgraded for modern luxury living with discreet modern comfort and technology. The principal reception rooms and entertaining spaces are in this wing, with the bar and games room opening on to the swimming pool terrace. Features of this wing include an original 11th-century spiral staircase, designed in the period's defensive style, on which a substantial part of the €8 million renovation was focused.

The restoration has combined the preservation of the original character. During the renovation, two important Renaissance windows were discovered and fully restored, with glass chosen to reflect the period's appearance and character.

A substantial new, modern professional kitchen has been installed on the ground floor and is designed to cater for both outdoor dining and formal entertaining inside the château. It serves the very large 12th-century dining room, which features an impressive original 12th-century fireplace. The dining room is heated by radiators, ensuring comfort while preserving its historic atmosphere.

The ‘New Wing’ - dating back to the 17th-century
The new wing has three storeys and provides the bedroom suites and a small kitchen that opens on to the walled garden.

Exterior
At the heart of the estate stands its historic tower, a commanding reminder of the chateau's medieval origins. Rising above the rooftops, it leads to a spectacular roof terrace and panoramic jacuzzi, where sweeping views extend across the village, surrounding countryside and distant horizons. It is a setting equally suited to private reflection or unforgettable entertaining beneath the southern French sky.

At the heart of the complex is the charming garden with mature trees and a secluded courtyard, creating a sequence of elegant outdoor living spaces. Shaded terraces surround and overlook a stunning swimming pool, offering complete privacy within the walls of this historic residence.

Location
Perfectly positioned in one of the most sought-after areas of southern France, the chateau enjoys an enviable setting in a charming, authentic village renowned for its character, tranquillity and quality of life. At the heart of the village are two highly regarded restaurants that offer excellent local cuisine and create a vibrant yet intimate atmosphere year-round. Just 6 km away lies the historic town of Uzes, widely regarded as one of Provence's most beautiful destinations. Rich in history and culture, Uzes offers an exceptional array of boutiques, galleries, cafés, restaurants and one of the region's finest weekly markets, alongside its celebrated architecture and lively social scene. The town's appeal extends throughout the seasons, making it a cherished destination for both residents and visitors alike.

Despite its peaceful village setting, the property benefits from outstanding connectivity. The motorway network is close by, while the TGV station is just 35 km away, providing rapid links to Paris and major European cities. The cultural centres of both Avignon and Nimes are also within close proximity, offering world-class festivals, Roman heritage, shopping and dining. For international travel, Nimes Airport is 50 km, and Montpellier Airport is approximately 80 km away, while the Mediterranean coastline, the vineyards of the Rhone Valley and the picturesque landscapes of Provence are all easily accessible.

Combining the charm of village life with immediate access to some of southern France's most celebrated destinations, this exceptional location offers a rare balance of authenticity, convenience and refined living.
