CHâTEAU DE FONSCOLOMBE History & Concept

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.

At Fonscolombe, nature is a faithful friend. With its songs, rhythms and fragrances, it lulls visitors in search of calm and serenity. For us, nature is an integral part of the magic of the estate. 180 species of trees, some of them three hundred years old, stand proudly. Atlas and Lebanese cedars, planted by the Marquis de Saporta and Fonscolombe, stand alongside majestic maple-leaf plane trees and bald-cypresses. Cicadas, butterflies and bats bring the gardens to life, while foxes, squirrels find refuge in the woods. Here, every species is precious, and the protection of biodiversity is a cherished and passionately cultivated heritage, rooted in a long botanical tradition.
