A millenary masterpiece in the heart of Uzège

Auction scheduled for October 1, 2026. The pre-sale estimate ranges, excluding fees, between ¤2,250,000 and ¤3,750,000, with a listed price of ¤5,900,000.

Located in one of the most sought-after regions of southern France, just minutes from Uzès, this exceptional castle perfectly blends ancient heritage with contemporary living.
Built in the 11th century and enhanced throughout the Renaissance and Classical periods, this historic residence is said to have welcomed Jean Racine, who may have composed part of his work here. Today, after a remarkable restoration, the castle has been reborn in all its glory, offering a turnkey home where every detail celebrates excellence.
Spanning over 1,200 m², the property is centered around an elegant vaulted inner courtyard, landscaped gardens, spacious terraces, and a private swimming pool. Exposed stone, centuries-old vaults, mullioned windows, grand staircases, and dramatic volumes harmonize with contemporary interior architecture, designed with refined simplicity to preserve the soul of the place.
The reception areas exude elegance. Large, light-filled lounges, a monumental dining room, more intimate sitting rooms, and luxurious private suites create a living space that is both prestigious and timeless.
Designed to meet the highest standards, the professional kitchen combines state-of-the-art equipment with artisanal expertise. A private cinema, fitness area, elegant bar, hammam with wellness space, games room, and a wine cellar carved into the historic foundations complete the exceptional features of this residence.
The estate consists of two main wings and a separate guest house.

The medieval wing

The true historic heart of the castle, this wing dates back to the 11th century and retains all the nobility of its original architecture. Restored with the utmost care, it perfectly balances heritage authenticity with modern comfort.
It houses the main reception rooms as well as spaces dedicated to entertaining. The bar and games room open naturally onto the pool terrace, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas.
Among the most remarkable features is an exceptional 11th-century spiral staircase, designed according to the defensive principles of the time. A significant portion of the ¤8 million invested in the restoration was dedicated to preserving this unique architectural treasure.
The work also led to the rediscovery of two remarkable Renaissance windows, restored using traditional techniques and fitted with specially selected glass to faithfully reproduce their original character.
On the ground floor, a large contemporary professional kitchen serves both outdoor receptions and dinners hosted in the impressive 12th-century dining room, dominated by a majestic period fireplace.

The 17th-century wing

Built in the 17th century, this second wing extends over three levels dedicated to private spaces. It features generous suites, each designed as a self-contained apartment, as well as a separate kitchen opening directly onto the walled garden.
The grounds
Rising above the entire property, the historic tower proudly recalls the castle’s medieval origins. It leads to a spectacular panoramic terrace with a jacuzzi, offering breathtaking views over the village, the Uzège landscapes, and the Provençal horizons.
The carefully landscaped gardens form a true green sanctuary punctuated by centuries-old trees, a charming inner courtyard, and several shaded terraces. The pool, perfectly integrated into its surroundings, enjoys complete privacy, sheltered by the property’s historic walls.
A privileged address
The castle enjoys an exceptional location within a genuine Gard village, renowned for its lifestyle, tranquility, and heritage.
Two renowned restaurants enliven the heart of the village year-round, while Uzès, just six kilometers away, offers one of the finest living environments in Provence with its refined boutiques, art galleries, iconic markets, and vibrant cultural life.
Access is remarkably easy: the TGV station is only 35 kilometers away, Avignon and Nîmes are quickly reachable, and the airports of Nîmes and Montpellier provide international connections. The Mediterranean beaches, Rhône Valley vineyards, and iconic Provençal landscapes are all within effortless reach.
