En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château d'Arpaillargues, also known as the Château d'Agoult, in Arpaillargues-et-Aureillac (Gard), is a seigneurial residence from the 17th and 18th centuries with thick walls. It passed into the Agoult family through marriage in 1647 and was substantially renovated in the 18th century by the Marquis Henri-François d'Agoult. The estate has remained associated with the name of Marie de Flavigny, Comtesse d'Agoult (1805–1876), famous for her liaison with Franz Liszt, by whom she had a daughter, Cosima, later the wife of Richard Wagner. This links the estate to the Romantic history of literature and music. Restored and modernised, it is now operated as a 4-star hotel with 27 rooms, two restaurants, a swimming pool and an outdoor jacuzzi, near Uzès.
