It is a Renaissance château with numerous outbuildings (guest houses, staff houses, stables, a barn, a garage) on an island in the Rhône River.
The Château and the five other houses count 17 bedrooms!
The domaine is a 100 hectare estate facing the Papal city of Avignon!
Anyone interested?!
The illuminated entrance.
Coat of arms of the Seigneur de Fogasses.
François de Fogasses built the fortifications of Château Blanc in 1573 to the strict specifications of Charles IX, King of France.
It is remarkable to find a Renaissance château, almost 400 years old, in such a good condition and so little changed from its original construction.
Built in the style of an Italian villa, the château benefits from large and numerous openings that permit the celebrated light of Provence to enter its spacious rooms.

The cellar.I think that you all are agree with me that the château needs some redo as maybe some new furniture and lighting, repainting,....
Wouldn't you love to get the opportunity to do that? Maybe I would ask Timothy Corrigan to help me with it because Timothy is used to renovate castles in France!

it seems to have a good start on the renovation of the buildling-really beautiful and outstanding.The interior decorations lacks a lot though......what fun it would be!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the Chateau...but the gardens are the true beauty...I could live in them. Greet, I love your blog and all the exquisite images that you post. I have just started blogging recently, but have followed yours for a few months now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty ....... so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLeslie
I've been having a difficult time finding just the right spot .. . and this certainly has great possibilities . The gardens are the true treasure. As for the interiors ... .
ReplyDeletenothing that couldn't be remedied with a
blank check to Axel V.
Thanks for posting the link!
Judith
ah, just the thought,Yes you would need some help there-though you have a gorgeous start! GT
ReplyDeletesigh. If only I was rich and famous. I'd be redoing that chateau in a flash. Happy New Year Greet! Ik hoop dat je een gezellige tijd hebt gehad, and veel goeds in 2010. xoxo Lidy
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, how wonderful. agree, the interior needs some work but the outside is so spectacular it would be well worth it.
ReplyDeleteGreet,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful structure indeed, and I am so glad you said what you said about a bit of updating...because I was thinking it was rather plain inside. Oh yes, would I ever love the opportunity to spruce it up a bit!
xo
Greet,
ReplyDeleteI would be happy with one of the guest houses. What a beautiful property. I love Avignon! Probably out of my price range though! --Delores
Thank you for the tour of the château. I agree, it would be so much fun to redecorate the whole place!! The floors and ceilings are perfect as they are, and the terrace and garden are GORGEOUS. The staircase to that guest house could definitely use a railing, though!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you for 2010, Greet :-)

I feel like I'm looking into the setting of a gorgeous fairy tale!
ReplyDeleteIf only we could afford it, it is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLeeann x

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day !!

Hi Greet
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! This is such a divine chateau - what a fabulous project it will be for the lucky new owner. Leigh
HI Greet
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be wonderful... those entrance doors alone have me sold!
Thank you for providing the dreams!! x Julie
Thanks for the amazing tour Greet ! I would love to get my hands on it!! I probably wouldn't stick to anything too traditional though..
ReplyDeleteGreat start to 2010, Hope this year is fantastic for you Greet..

How absolutely grand! Words don't properly describe the beauty of such a chateau! I can't imagine having that much space to live in. Thank you for the tour! Hugs, Cindy S.
ReplyDeletebonne annee! I'm off to buy some lotto tickets!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!! Thanks for the tour. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI'll take it - how gorgeous and Aignon is so pretty. I just found your blog through Chich Provence and have enjoyed going through all your beautiful posts. I'll be following along and will be back soon.
ReplyDeleteThis place is to die for, Greet! Last night, my Mom and I spent quite a lot of time looking at real estate in France -- we are hoping to make a move on something within a few years. (I'm so excited!!) I will most definitely show her this place -- we adore Avignon! It's one of my favorite spots in the south...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your continuous inspiration and beautiful images. I wish I could walk into these images :)
What a beautiful place! Has such a neat, almost graphic greatness to it with divine clean lines. Even the orchard looks extremely groomed!
ReplyDeleteLove the entryway with those orange candles!
Fantastic find.

Wat een heerlijke serie laat je hier zien, zo anders dan we hier in Zweden gewend zijn. Het ene is nog mooier dan het ander. Dat was even onverwachts genieten hier op de blog bij jou!

Fell in love with those two towered one room deep small chateau when we lived in Saint Remy. There is one called Fontchateau towards Mas Blanc that is unbelievable. It was in fact redone in the last couple of years. In a manner I think you would approve. Great feature on you in Chic Provence Blog! Daniel
ReplyDeleteI just love coffered ceilings when they are done right...the one you've posted above looks amazing! That cellar is absolutely stunning as well, I still really miss our la cave from living in Belgium.
ReplyDeleteGreet,
ReplyDeleteI love this part of France. I long to go back. Hope you have having a great 2010. These images are divine.

ReplyDeleteI will love to participate into a " redo project " because I think the architecture os gorgeous but some bathrooms and bedrooms need to be renovated and redecorated
ReplyDeleteLove to see these chateaus and castles. As you know, we have nothing like these in the States. The powder room picture was so pretty.
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!!! just gorgeous!
