A Historical Journey Through the Château du Bois, From Its First Mention in 1626 to Its Enduring Provençal Legacy

The Domaine Château du Bois, nestled in the heart of Haute-Provence, is far more than a charming holiday rental. It is a place of exception where history and nature have been intertwined for centuries. First mentioned in 1626, this emblematic estate reflects the long evolution of the Provençal landscape, shaped by agricultural traditions and a deep respect for heritage. It stands today as an essential reference for travellers seeking an authentic Provence retreat. Originally fortified to protect its inhabitants, it gradually became a landmark of lavender cultivation with the addition of a windmill in 1686, followed later by a distillery. Carefully restored over the years, the estate now embodies a harmonious balance between historical legacy and preserved nature, offering visitors an experience rooted in the values of a family-run guesthouse and the timeless charm of Provence. It is an ideal destination for anyone wishing to reconnect with the heritage, landscapes and tranquillity that define an exclusive stay in Provence.
