The history of Château de Fonscolombe Three centuries of the art of living in Provence
Built in the 18th century in the Quattrocento style, hidden between Sainte Victoire and Mont Ventoux, Château de Fonscolombe embodies the refinement of a vast family home, imbued with the spirit of the Marquis de Saporta and de Fonscolombe, illustrious humanists and men of science of the time, who left their mark on the history of the estate.
The listed park, an essential emblem of the estate and the legacy of botanist Gaston de Saporta, is home to almost 180 species of trees and plants. The Queen Mother of England once planted a majestic Atlas Cedar here, which still watches over travellers today.
Carefully restored ever since, you will be able to stroll through a resolutely Provençal, chic and rustic décor, enhanced here and there by Genoa leathers, Chinese wallpapers and Provençal plasterwork.
Three centuries of French history resonate within these walls, offering an enchanting setting where life gently unfolds.
