Don't you just love a beautiful French chateau? Well, I have a real treat for you today!
Built in a hill-top village, in the early 17th century, the Château de Moissac-Bellevue was originally a residence dedicated to relaxation, owned by a noble family from Provence.
With its monumental entrance, vast drawing-rooms and dining-rooms opening out to the gardens, its imposing kitchen, its bedrooms and bathrooms extending upwards to the attics, this is a magnificent example of a French chateau. The building was actually rewarded for its exemplary restoration in June 2008 by the "Prix des Vieilles Maisons Françaises".
This chateau boasts a sweeping staircase...
...beautiful fireplaces...
...exquisite lighting...
...original features...
....first class cabinetry...
...attention to detail...
...incredible flooring...
...the finest furniture...
...amazing scale...
...wonderful architectural details...
... a perfect palette...
...fantastic plasterwork...
.... gracious gardens...
...and all of it in such a scenic setting!
What more could you possibly want?
Till next time

GORGEOUS inside and out!! Sharon I hope your son is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteSharon! The Chateau de Moissac is my very favorite anywhere in the world! I long to visit it and will some day as it is at about a two hour drive from Arles. Happily, I do see it often though as it is rented out for photo shoots and appears regularly in top French decor magazines like Cote Sud. I find it perfect in every way...save that I don't live there!
ReplyDeleteI would want nothing more than enough money to maintain it. What a beautiful chateau.
