manors with pool for sale Rhone-Alps, France

A hidden gem. Whilst Grignan is home to a château known and admired by all, this famous town also boasts, just a stone’s throw away, a more intimate gem, tucked away in the heart of a romantic park, with century-old trees and flowers whose beauty is matched only by their delicate fragrance. Built during the Belle Époque as a holiday retreat, the property welcomed elegant travellers and distinguished guests throughout the 20th century, mirroring the town of Grignan itself, which over time has become a cultural and artistic hub. Its marble-floored entrance hall, its splendid wrought-iron glass roof overlooking the park, and its spacious lounge with a bar opening onto a long outdoor terrace on the upper floor, offering a peaceful and soothing view of the natural surroundings, are a reminder of that golden age. Today, modernity has been seamlessly integrated into the premises whilst preserving their essence. A professional kitchen, newly fitted bathrooms and a massage room ensure unquestionable comfort in a timeless setting with undeniable charm. The striking tranquillity of the magnificent, walled park—spanning over 2 hectares—the superb rose garden and the beautiful vegetable garden are such a feast for the eyes that you momentarily forget you are just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Grignan. Just 20 minutes from the A7 motorway and 30 minutes from the TGV station, come and discover this unique part of the town’s heritage, a living testament to a true art of living, where even today people still aspire to slow down and take the time to appreciate beauty in a world where everything moves too fast.
