The estate

A former farm, in large walled grounds.

Domaine de Rochebonne is a former family property that has become a holiday estate: a château and 8 gîtes set in the old farm buildings, around 13,000 m² of walled grounds.

The grounds

The grounds are walled and completely car-free: you park at the entrance, in the free car park (room for more than 20 vehicles), and children can move around freely. Wide lawns, old trees, shady corners: there is a place for everyone.

The gîtes are named after what they once were: Le Pressoir (the wine press), Le Chai (the wine store), La Cave (the cellar), Le Four à Pain (the bread oven), La Mangeoire (the manger), La Charrue (the plough). The château has its own walled area, separate from the gîtes.
