Uzès - just nearby, Exceptional Castle
A Millennial Masterpiece in the Heart of the Uzège
Auction scheduled for July 30, 2026. The pre-sale estimate, excluding fees, ranges between ¤2,250,000 and ¤3,750,000, with an asking price of ¤5,900,000.
Situated in one of the most sought-after regions in southern France, just minutes from Uzès, this exceptional castle represents the perfect harmony between ancient heritage and contemporary living.
Built in the 11th century and enhanced through the Renaissance and Classical periods, this historic residence is said to have hosted Jean Racine, who allegedly composed part of his work here. Today, following an extensive restoration, the castle is reborn in all its splendor, offering a move-in ready home where every detail celebrates excellence.
Spanning over 1,200 m², the estate revolves around an elegant vaulted inner courtyard, landscaped gardens, spacious terraces, and a secluded swimming pool. Exposed stonework, centuries-old vaults, mullioned windows, grand staircases, and dramatic volumes blend seamlessly with refined contemporary interior design crafted to preserve the soul of the place.
The reception areas exude elegance. Large, light-filled living rooms, an impressive dining hall, more intimate lounges, and luxurious private suites create a living environment as prestigious as it is timeless.
Designed to meet the highest standards, the professional kitchen combines state-of-the-art appliances with artisanal expertise. A private cinema, fitness area, stylish bar, hammam with wellness space, games room, and a wine cellar carved into the historic foundations further enhance this extraordinary residence.
The property consists of two main wings along with a separate guest house.
The Medieval Wing
The true historic core of the castle, this wing dates back to the 11th century and retains all the nobility of its original architecture. Restored with absolute precision, 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.
One of the most remarkable features is an exceptional spiral staircase from the 11th century, designed according to the defensive principles of its time. A significant portion of the eight million euros invested in the restoration was devoted to preserving this unique architectural treasure.
The work also led to the rediscovery of two remarkable Renaissance windows, restored with traditional techniques and fitted with specially selected glazing to faithfully recreate their original character.
On the ground floor, a spacious contemporary professional kitchen serves both outdoor receptions and dinners hosted in the impressive 12th-century dining hall, 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 quarters. It features generous suites, each designed as a full apartment, along with a separate kitchen that opens directly onto the walled garden.
The Grounds
Rising above the entire estate, the historic tower majestically recalls the castle's medieval origins. It leads to a spectacular panoramic terrace complete with a Jacuzzi, offering breathtaking views of the village, the Uzège landscapes, and the Provençal horizons.
The carefully landscaped gardens form a true green oasis dotted with centuries-old trees, a charming inner courtyard, and several shaded terraces. The swimming pool, perfectly integrated into its surroundings, benefits from absolute privacy, sheltered by the estate's historic walls.
A Premier Location
The castle enjoys an exceptional position within an authentic village in the Gard region, celebrated 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 Provence's most beautiful living environments with its refined boutiques, art galleries, iconic markets, and vibrant cultural life.
Access is remarkably convenient: the TGV station is only 35 kilometers away, Avignon and Nîmes are easily reachable, and the airports of Nîmes and Montpellier provide international connections. The Mediterranean beaches, Rhône Valley vineyards, and iconic Provençal landscapes are all effortlessly accessible.
An Exceptional Property
Properties of this caliber rarely come onto the market.
Combining nearly a thousand years of history, an outstanding quality restoration, amenities worthy of the finest private residences, and a privileged location just outside Uzès, this castle stands out as one of the most prestigious estates in southern France.
Far more than a home, it is a living heritage, beautifully reimagined to meet the demands of the 21st century.
