About Chateau d'Ansouis
Add to favoritesOverlooking one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France," Ansouis Castle is an exceptional residence that has spanned a thousand years of history. Originally a medieval fortress, it was transformed during the 17th and 18th centuries into a highly refined pleasure residence. Today, it remains a lived-in family home, passionately restored by its owners. Visitors can admire interiors of rare elegance: delicate plasterwork (gypseries), period furniture, and perfectly preserved historic kitchens. The castle is also famous for its sculpted boxwood gardens—hanging terraces that offer panoramic views over the Aigues valley. A tour of Ansouis is an "extravagant" experience due to the warmth and authenticity of the setting. Unlike a static museum, Ansouis is a living home. Each room tells the story of the prominent families who once owned it, such as the Sabran and Villefranche lineages. From the medieval chapel to the grand Louis XV salon, visitors are taken on a journey through time where luxury meets the intimacy of a private estate, all bathed in the golden light of the Luberon.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Garden Magic: Spend time wandering through the boxwood gardens in the late afternoon. The contrast between the deep green of the topiary and the castle's ochre stone is sublime.
