Château Nestled at the Foot of the Pyrenees – Elegance of the Napoleon III Era in Southern France
Positioned in a stunning location at the base of the Pyrenees, this château embodies the refined elegance of the Napoleon III era, featuring classic architectural elements and nods to French monarchy, particularly the legacy of Henri V, the Comte de Chambord. Recently, the château underwent a meticulous restoration to preserve its historic splendour.
Originally commissioned in 1867 and designed by renowned architect Azibert, the château is set on a square foundation with a grand central bay, adorned with intricate lion sculptures flanking the family crest. Its impressive façade showcases twin front towers and a rear polygonal turret, along with numerous stone dormer windows topped with ornate spires, adding a regal presence.
Upon entry, the grandeur continues with exquisite interiors restored to their authentic charm. The entrance hall impresses with its black-and-white chequered marble floor and elegant floral medallions, characteristic of the Napoleon III style. The grand salon radiates opulence with ornate stucco walls, a marble fireplace featuring fleur-de-lis motifs, and intricate ceiling murals.
The dining room boasts a majestic marble fireplace with lion-paw detailing, a beautifully adorned ceiling with polychrome stuccowork, and herringbone parquet flooring. The separate, spacious kitchen includes a large fireplace, top-quality fittings, and fine oak cabinetry.
The first floor offers six beautifully appointed bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a utility room. On the second floor, you’ll find an expansive hall, five additional bedrooms, and a spacious games room, with a large attic for extra storage.
The property also includes a pristinely maintained cellar, a private chapel with colourful frescoes, and a pool awaiting restoration. An impressive gated entrance with stone columns leads into the grounds, with oil central heating providing comfort all year round.
