Renaissance Château with Listed Monument Features in a Pristine Pyrenean Setting
In one of the sunniest valleys of the Pyrenees—celebrated for its lush mountain pastures, crystal-clear streams, and idyllic panoramas—stands this remarkable human-scale château. Combining the authenticity of a Renaissance residence with the rare beauty of an unspoiled alpine landscape, it is perfectly suited as an elegant holiday retreat or as a grand family home.

The magnificent stone spiral staircase within the tower is listed as a Historic Monument, bearing witness to the exceptional architectural quality of this residence.
Inside, Renaissance authenticity has been lovingly maintained: two monumental fireplaces, ancient beams adorned with fleurs-de-lis, and elegant mullioned windows create a timeless atmosphere. A charming five-bed dormitory nestled under the beams of the square tower recalls the conviviality of traditional family homes.
