Château de Roquefoulet — A Palladian Residence near Toulouse History: Built in 1818 for Jean-Claude de Champreux, Marquis d’Altenbourg, Château de Roquefoulet is a Palladian residence inspired by the great Italian villas. Its architecture, defined by harmonious proportions, symmetrical façades and an abundance of natural light, represents a distinctive example of the architectural heritage of the Lauragais. Partially listed as a Historic Monument, the château retains many of its original architectural features and decorative elements. Between 2015 and 2020, Roquefoulet underwent a complete restoration, carried out with the involvement of heritage architects, master craftsmen and specialist companies. The guiding principle was to preserve the character and elegance of the residence while introducing the standards of comfort expected today. Location: Set in the heart of the Lauragais, the property is located less than 30 minutes from the historic centre of Toulouse, with shops and everyday amenities just a few minutes away. Nearby, Lake Thésauque and its leisure facilities also provide access to a range of outdoor and water-based activities. Setting: The estate extends over approximately 11 hectares, offering a private and preserved environment. Surrounding the château is a landscaped park designed in the 19th century in the tradition of English landscape gardens, with sweeping lawns, long perspectives, wooded areas and centuries-old trees. Atlas cedars, a century-old linden tree and a collection of rare species form a genuine botanical heritage. In recognition of the quality of this ensemble, the estate was awarded the “Ensemble Arbre Remarquable” distinction in 2019. The Property: The château offers more than 1,500 sq m of living space, with generous proportions while retaining the warmth and intimacy of a private residence. Upon entering, the grand hall and its monumental double staircase immediately establish the character of the house. Several reception rooms, a dining room, library, study and semi-professional kitchen form the principal living spaces. The upper floors accommodate nine air-conditioned bedrooms and suites, overlooking the park and combining historic features with contemporary comfort. A wellness area with hammam and massage room, together with a wine cellar, completes the main residence. At the entrance to the estate, an elegant independent caretaker’s house overlooks the gates and provides separate accommodation for staff or guests. Set apart from the main residence, a fully glazed, air-conditioned reception pavilion of more than 500 sq m provides an elegant setting for weddings, private receptions, seminars or retreats, while preserving the privacy of the château itself. Less than thirty minutes from Toulouse, Roquefoulet brings together the architecture of a grand Palladian residence, a preserved landscaped heritage and the comfort of a contemporary restoration, set within eleven hectares of parkland and grounds.
