Château de Picomtal

Originally a simple watchtower, it has been altered and developed several times over the centuries. Today, set in wooded parkland with a small terraced garden, it is a charming, tranquil ensemble overlooking the Durance valley, making it easy to forget its primarily military past. The current owners are keen to offer guided tours, theme days and workshops, as well as a summer cultural programme. The site is also an exceptional guest house, with 9 suites and rooms, each with its own character.
