This property is on the market with Montpellier Sotheby's International Realty. Price is disclosed upon application with the listing agency. 

Located near Pézenas, the delightful 16th century capital of the Languedoc, and just 20 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea, the castle has been a popular venue for dreamy French weddings. 

The 5-bedroom 43,055 square foot property is set in a lovely 6 acre park filled with cedars and bamboo, with several lovely terraces and a swimming pool. 

The castle dates back to the 18th century, however its Italianate facade was added in the 19th century. The property is entered through a majestic gate, where you find French gardens and a lovely chapel belonging to the property. 

A passage through to the Mediterranean patio, where you the bakers house with an authentic lava stone oven, and finally the main 5-bedroom château with its Florentine loggia, complete with Corinthian columns and Venetian lions and several staircases leading to more terraces.
