After several months of closure, the orangery of the Château de Thézan in Saint-Didier, Vaucluse, was inaugurated over the weekend of 20 September 2026. Built at the end of the 19th century as a botanical space and later a tearoom, it has regained its former glory following a £450,000 project led by the château’s owners, with support from the state, the department, the Fondation du patrimoine and the Loto du Patrimoine.
