En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Bionne, formerly the Château de Mont-Louis, is a late 17th-century folie in Montpellier, remodelled in the 19th century. It stands at 1225 rue de Bionne, to the west of Montpellier. First mentioned in 1685 as the property of the intendant Nicolas de Lamoignon de Basville, it then passed to the Bonnier family, who gave it its present name, and afterwards to the de Pourtalès, de Montpezat, Thibault and Tissié families. The Tissié family was connected with the painter Frédéric Bazille. In 1919 it came into the hands of the Leenhardt family. Comparable to the Château de Flaugergues, it consists of a main block flanked by two short wings under Mansard roofs, and beneath its terrace it contains a grotto-fountain dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. The estate now operates as a château hotel and events venue.
