Chateau d'Arlay

17 96
Set alongside one
of the oldest vineyards in the Jura, the Chateau d'Arlay, a
former convent restored in the 18th century by the Countess of
Lauraguais, is the home of early 19th century furniture. The
park, built around the ruins of a medieval fortress, is worth
seeing for its lovely pathways, romantic copses and birds of
prey in the wild. The "Jardin des Jeux", created in 1996,
recalls the spirit of the "divertimentos" of the end of the
18th century and presents a harmonious assembly of flowers,
fruit and vegetables.

01 65 Grignan, Montélimar, Suze-la-Rousse... in close
proximity to one another, the most beautiful Chateaux of provençal Drôme. The
Chateau de Grignan (12th to 17th
centuries) is one of the greatest Renaissance Chateaux
in Southeast France. The presence of Madame de Sévigné
and the important place which this Chateau holds in her
Letters, the power of count François de Castellane
Adhémar de Monteil, viceroy of Provence from 1669 to
1714, make it a Mecca for regional history. The Chateau
des Adhémar in Montélimar (11th to 16th centuries) is
one of the most important examples of medieval
architecture in the central Rhône valley, with a 12th
century dressing room of exceptional decor. The Chateau
de Suze-la-Rousse (12th to 17th centuries) is a medieval
fortress with a magnificent arcaded Italian-style
courtyard added during the Renaissance period.
Today it is the home of the
Université du Vin.
