In the quiet village of Vitrolles-en-Luberon, the Château du Grand-Pré is a beautifully restored estate that showcases the elegance of 17th and 18th-century Provençal aristocratic life.

Recently brought back to life after a major restoration completed in 2021, the château stands out for its refined interiors and exceptional gypserie decorations, a traditional Provençal plasterwork that is rarely preserved at this level.

The estate was originally designed with terraced gardens leading to a large basin in the Louis XIV style, combining the structure of French gardens with the theatrical layout of Italian ones. These gardens are gradually being revived, reinforcing the château’s original vision.

Today, the château is evolving into a collector’s residence, displaying antique Provençal furniture and artworks from southern artists, while remaining open to visitors.

👉 Local Tip: Visit with a guided tour if available. The details of the restoration and the gypserie work are easy to miss without context.
