This elegant and quintessentially French Château is an exceptional find in this region.  The beautiful historic city of Pau with its International school can be reached in 20 minutes and its airport is a mere 15 minutes’ drive away.     Dating back to the early nineteenth century, the classic architecture boasts a wonderful central fronton sympathetically supported by its symmetrical façade. Framing the main façade is a wing surmounted by a working bell tower to the west and a square tower to the east.  The château sits at the end of a long and majestic avenue of ancient oaks, residing in the centre of 7.7 hectares (circa 17acres) of immaculate grounds. This enormously appealing chateau, with its imposing reception rooms and large principal bedrooms makes it ideal for entertaining, while its over 450m² is sufficiently manageable to allow it to be used as a family home or secondary residence.
