Château de Chaussy

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Chaussy stands about 500 metres from the centre of Ruoms, in the Ardèche, not far from the road to Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. The history of the seigneury of Chaussy is documented from the 15th century onwards: at the beginning of that century it belonged to the du Ranc family, then passed to the de Vinduol family. In 1552, Balthazard de Chaussy married Guyonne de Balazuc; in 1574, his daughter Léonarde de Vinduol married Louis de Bonas. In 1659, Jean de Bonas sold the château to Scipion de Beauvoir, Count of Le Roure. In 1785, Jean-Baptiste Tourre became lord of Chaussy; in the early 20th century, the estate passed to his son-in-law, M. Lauriol. Built of local stone, the château has retained its old character while being adapted for tourism. For more than 35 years, the estate has welcomed visitors as a holiday-cottage village, offering charming accommodation as well as a reception hall for weddings and private events. The Château de Chaussy is not open to visitors as a monument; today it is a private tourist accommodation estate.
