Castle Park of Flaugergues

Leisure centre in Montpellier

The castle park Flaugergues is located at Montpellier, Occitanie region, on the eastern part of the municipality.

The construction of the estate began in 1696 and the construction lasted about fifty years, the owner Étienne de Flaugergues, advisor to the Court of Accounts of Montpellier, constantly wanting to enlarge and embellish the castle as its sumptuous gardens. Then surrounded by the countryside, it served as an example for other residential properties called "follies" or "houses of the fields" which symbolized the success of a new aristocracy wishing to combine luxury and beauty.

In 1811, the domain of Flaugergues is acquired by the family of Boussairolles whose descendants are still owners of the place. It is surrounded by vineyards and has a gourmet restaurant.

The castle is reminiscent of Tuscan architecture and consists of a central body and two wings overlooking a step garden. The facade imitates that of the Italian villas of the seventeenth century, with cornices under the roof in Roman tiles. Note that the building is entirely turned towards the garden: the back is almost blind, adorned with trompe-l'oeil windows.

In front of the terrace where two statues of the eighteenth century are installed, a first French garden is planted with 10,000 feet of boxwood (it was restored in the 20th century). This space is extended by an English park of three hectares and an alley of olive trees that leads to a belvedere whose panorama extends to the Mediterranean coast. More recently, a vegetable garden has been developed.

The castle and the park are classified, and the site is labeled Remarkable Garden. The whole is a real change of scenery and allows walks in an exceptional setting dotted with works of art.

Several forms of visits are proposed. Some include the interior of the castle (still inhabited by the owners of the estate) which houses Flemish tapestries, Louis XV and XVI furniture, exceptional library and scientific objects. These are always "accompanied".

For the park and the garden, free or guided visit.

Moreover, it is possible to combine the visit with a lunch in the restaurant or with a discovery of the vineyards and a tasting of the wines produced in the property.
