|
| Château de Tourreau is one of the most exquisite
private estates in Provence. Situated in the heart of the Rhone valley, within
easy reach of Avignon, St Remy, Aix-en-Provence and the Carmargue area by the
sea, which is famous for its horses and bird-life. |
|
|
| Beautifully restored by the present owners to reflect its
pure 18th century design, the Château has a sophisticated refinement,
which is enhanced by its eclectic collection of antiques. The 21st century
technology is also discreetly present. |
|
|
| The Château enjoys three Reception rooms (50 square
metres, 30 square metres and 26 square metres), a Library (50 square metres), a
large formal Dining room (which seats up to 18 persons - 35 square metres), and
an informal large, combined Dining room and Kitchen (70 square metres). |

stall. |
|
|
| In its Peacock Salon, the Château has a "home-cinema"
(with surround- sound), which includes a 42 " plasma screen, DVD, Satellite TV
and music. |
|
|
| The Farm building has a ground floor Dining room, which can
also be used as a Card/Games room, off the Courtyard, which is serviced by its
own professional kitchen. |
|
|
| The Estate's Concierge will help guests plan their stay in
advance, by suggesting a wide variety of activities available in the region
around the Estate. For those guests, who like to plan in advance, this service
will enable them to arrive at the Château knowing exactly what their
program will be |
|
|
| Last, but by no means least, the less sportif can spend all
day lazing by the superb "mirror" swimming pool (25m x 10m x 4.5m), with its
Olympic 1m spring board, water-polo facilities and its adjoining children's
pool (3m x 3m x 0.6m). |
|
|
| For the sports enthusiast, or as the French say, for les
sportif, a game of squash at three in the morning? A challenging set of tennis?
Or a vigorous bout of water polo? At Château de Tourreau, you play what
you like when you like - the tennis and basketball courts are floodlit. While
the less sportif can walk in the extensive grounds, the more energetic can play
basketball, have a workout in the gym area, or play a game of croquet,
badminton or volleyball on the specially dedicated lawn. |
