This chateau is set in the midst of parklands planted with superb trees that first appeared in our landscaped gardens as of the 19th century. Giving the impression of coming straight out of a romance of chivalry, it stands on the site of an older building, constructed on a line of defence connecting the river Garonne to the Pyrenean mountains. Its three towers were decapitated at the time of the French Revolution. Two were reconstructed in the 19th century, this era being the rediscovery of the Middle-Ages. Viollet-le-Duc “saved” Notre-Dame-de-Paris as well as the City of Carcassonne and it was one of her pupils who built this chateau using all the romantic vocabulary of the era, known as the “Troubadour” style. It has it all; two large round towers flank the facade on the south side. The older one on the right has a razed shape, but the one on the left-hand side features battlements under its pointed roof; it has balistraria and fire holes with brattices enhancing the sought-after medieval character. Large mullioned windows, battlemented walls enclosing the various interior courtyards and the decoration of the living space make this chateau a document relating the sensibility of the time.

Also in the surrounding parklands, featuring alleyways bordered by tall trees, are the remains of a pond where horses used to drink, a gazebo in front of the south-facing facade and a small stone ornamental pool fed by a nearby spring. A grassy clearing and a fountain with a basin complete this romantic property.
