Welcome to Balmes le Château.
The only château in the world surrounded by its fields of organic lavender. Château dating from 1869, entirely renovated, on a 9-hectare estate, in the vanguard of Provence, ideally situated to gather families and friends from the 4 corners of France and Europe.
With heart and spirit, every detail has been imagined to make hearts beat fast, and emotions take place for the time of a stay or a celebration.
Balmes le Château was built by an enlightened landowner who wanted to celebrate the beauty and spirituality of Nature. The Château cultivates its share of originality with its 3 towers topped with crescent moons and adorned with clovers, its stylized salamanders on the cement tiles of the corridor, and its majestic pool...

The 9-hectare estate offers inspiring spaces to create a stay where surprise is part of every moment. The beauty of a château, the scent of lavender fields, the authenticity of stone bastides, laziness around a swimming pool and its straw hut, the joy of celebrating in the Orangerie, the freshness of forest paths, gourmet delights near the caves where food-trucks are parked, laughter around the table soccer or petanque pitch, the gentleness of a stroll with friends in the surrounding area. All Natura 2000 sites.
The Domaine also shares strong values and a sustainable approach. Welcoming moments of happiness is an honor, doing it well together is a duty. Nothing has been left to chance, and with heart and spirit, 4 principles guide the life of the Domaine: Minimize our Impact, Go Local, Redistribute and Do Good.
