Château de Potelières
Nestled in the village of Potelières in the south of France 🇫🇷, this historic château offers a romantic and timeless setting. Built in 1360 by Guillaume Bérard, lord of Potelières, it was originally a medieval fortress with four round towers.
Carefully restored, it now features Versailles-inspired gardens 🌿 and a beautiful orangery, blending history with comfort. Surrounded by olive trees and soft southern light ☀️, Château de Potelières is a peaceful place where nature and heritage come together.
Through the centuries, it has stood strong, even surviving a major fire in 1564 during the Wars of Religion.
