The White Lotus season 4: Château de la Messardière, the Saint-Tropez setting of the HBO series

Château de la Messardière

High above Saint-Tropez, among umbrella pines and the vineyards of Ramatuelle, the Château de la Messardière overlooks both the Bay of Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne. This late 19th-century mansion, with its towers and pale pink façades, is one of the oldest hotel addresses on the peninsula. Its story begins with a wedding gift: the cognac merchant Gabriel Dupuy d'Angeac gave the property to his daughter Louise and her husband, the cavalry officer Henry Brisson de La Messardière, who gave it his name. After Henry's early death, Louise turned the family home into a hotel in the early 20th century; in the 1920s the Parisian aristocracy flocked there for celebrated parties. After years of neglect, the château was rescued in 1989 by a restoration led by the architect Jean-Claude Rochette, then run as a luxury hotel from 1992. Bought in 2019 and added to the Airelles collection, it reopened in July 2021 after a complete renovation. It was chosen as the main setting for season 4 of HBO's The White Lotus, filmed from late April to October 2026.
