Castle Bionne, which was originally known as the castle of Mont-Louis is located on the western territory of Montpellier, about 5 km from the historic center.
This is madness, ie architecture of a vacation home or dedicated to receptions as bourgeois and aristocrats liked to build around cities.
The castle was built in the late seventeenth century and soon became famous Montpellier when its owner, a powerful steward of justice and finance, decided to regularly find his mistress, also one of the friends of his own wife...
Composed of a main building flanked by two small wings, the building has the specificity to have a mansard roof. However, in the nineteenth century, slate and zinc gutters replaced the original tiles.
An amazing "fountain cave" was also retained in the terrace.
Many owners have succeeded over the centuries, and in the twentieth century, the area housed a summer camp center and a hospital. Since 2010, a hotel and a luxury restaurant have been built there. Information at +33 4 67 45 20 93.
