Château de Chavagnac

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Chavagnac stands on the Route de Tournon, in the commune of Lemps, in the Ardèche. Its construction dates back to the late 18th century, around 1790, on the initiative of M. Botu de Verchère. The estate was then bought at auction by Pierre Meyniac, who continued the work; his son François Meyniac completed the building. The château later belonged to Madame Vibert, née Meyniac. At the end of the 19th century, the building was remodelled and its surroundings landscaped, with the creation of a formal French garden and an English-style park featuring an ornamental pond. Since August 2019, the château has belonged to Silvère and Franck Goudard Peyrolon, who have undertaken major renovation and conservation work on the building. Today, the Château de Chavagnac operates as a bed-and-breakfast and holiday cottages, on a 12-hectare estate combining woodland, fields and vineyards; it also produces its own wine.
