In the heart of the Gard region, this château, whose origins date back to the 11th century, overlooks the Gardon gorges between Uzès and the Pont du Gard. The village enchants with its golden stone façades, its immediate proximity to the river, and an atmosphere where nature seems to advance in a silent procession. Paths leading to the Hermitage of Collias, water-based activities, protected panoramic landscapes, and the proximity of major cultural centres give the site a strong identity: discreet, yet perfectly connected. Less than 30 minutes from Nîmes and 40 minutes from Avignon, the château enjoys a strategic position at the heart of a major heritage territory. Built around an 11th-century tower and shaped over the centuries, the residence bears witness to the great eras it has passed through. In the 15th century, it belonged to the Montpezat family, before being restructured in the 18th century by the Marquis de La Chapelle, who gave it the enduring form we see today. The estate is now composed of three historic entities: – a 17th-century wing, – an 18th-century wing, – and the medieval tower, carefully reinterpreted through successive restorations. A masterful renovation has restored the château to its former splendour, blending living heritage with contemporary standards of excellence. With nearly 2,000 sqm of living space, the property offers majestic volumes, perfectly suited to either a grand private residence or a prestigious hotel project.

With appropriate compliance upgrades, they could be incorporated into the hotel operation to increase accommodation capacity. - 3 apartments, each with its own distinct character, complete the ensemble. These units offer multiple possibilities: high-end suites, staff accommodation, private spaces, or premium lodging dedicated to an ambitious hospitality project. - A fourth apartment to be fitted out could also be converted into staff accommodation. A dedicated area of the estate could also accommodate a SPA, offering significant development potential to enhance the wellness offering already initiated by the existing facilities. Common areas and gastronomy: Bright lounges, vaulted rooms, reception spaces and well-balanced circulation areas form a fluid and elegant whole. Stone, wood and handcrafted ironwork harmoniously interact with a sober and carefully curated contemporary décor. “L’Hirondelle”, the château’s gastronomic restaurant, is a true signature of the property. Here, a Chef can celebrates local produce with confident creativity. Its panoramic terrace overlooks the hillside and gardens, forming a living tableau that accompanies every service. Outdoor spaces: The private park, thoughtfully designed, unfolds English-style gardens, a rose garden, tree-lined paths, a traditional kitchen garden and naturally shaded areas. A discreetly integrated swimming pool and ornamental basins complete this landscaped oasis of rare character. Our view: This estate brings together everything one expects from an exceptional property: an illustrious history, a multi-layered architecture perfectly restored, an operational 5-star hotel, a renowned gastronomic restaurant, and a flexible accommodation capacity thanks to guest rooms and apartments. The possibility of creating a SPA adds an additional dimension, opening the way to a high-end wellness concept.
