CHATEAU DE TOURREAU
The history of the Château
In 1612, the bourgeois Tourreau family from Avignon acquire a plot of land located in Sarrians. In 1614, the chapel is built here along with a first building, and two generations later, between 1750 and 1770, François Benezet de Tourreau build the Château based on the plans of the architect Brun. Surviving the French Revolution, in which François Paul Benezet de Tourreau is a Grey Musketeer in the service of the King of France, and weathering the ups and downs of the age, the property has been improved over the centuries and with different owners: new statues of Atlas supporting the balcony, a fountain in the southern park, and many sports facilities. The Château situated at the heart of 20-acre grounds possesses six salons/dining rooms along with nine suites over two floors. In the shade of a century-old plane tree lies, the patio, blending birdsong with the murmur of water, and also our wine cellar.
Salons/dining room
From the entrance hall, you reach the main salon bathed in sunlight coming through its large bay windows with a view over the southern park, or enter the dining room, which can seat 15 people in an authentic 18th-century setting at its wild cherry tree dinning table. Also located on the first floor is the blackwood salon equipped with a billiards table and paintings depicting the property.
Our TV room is equipped with an LED screen and satellite television, along with a number of movies. Take the main staircase to reach the fully renovated library with its moldings and gilding, along with the balcony offering you a 180° view over the estate.
