Château de Bosc

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Bosc, in Domazan (Gard), was built in 1870 by A. Capieu-Massip on the Domazan plateau; the owner died before the interior decoration was completed. The building, in the Napoleon III style with restrained interior ornamentation, stands in a 12,000 m² park planted with cedars of Lebanon, redesigned in 2001 by the landscape architect Patrice Gonfond in the style of the French formal garden. The estate also holds a zoomorphic draisine made around 1820–1825 by the wheelwright Urbain Alexandre, listed as a monument historique on 15 October 2010. Today the château is a multi-faceted cultural destination: a museum of cycling and motorcycling, an exhibition of historic aircraft (Mirage 5, MiG 17), a children's museum with treasure hunts, and a park of contemporary sculptures; the winegrower Guillaume Reynaud also produces a sulphite-free vin de garde there.
