The Venue History

18th century · Neoclassical

Built in 1763 by the Isnards, an illustrious Provence family, the château suffered damage during the French Revolution and was partly burnt. It was reconstructed identically in 1838 by Marquis Louis Charles des Isnards. The property has preserved its 18th century elegance while maintaining a family home spirit.
