En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Rochemure, in Jaujac, Ardèche, was originally a farmhouse built in the 18th century. In the 19th century, Victor-Charles de Fages, Count of Rochemure and deputy for Ardèche under the Second Empire, had a central pavilion added to the existing house, giving it the appearance of a château. The estate remained in the family until the early 20th century. Having deteriorated by the mid-20th century, it was acquired by the municipality of Jaujac and then by the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park. A major renovation, undertaken from 2005 following a high environmental quality approach (reinforced insulation, wood heating, natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting, local materials), made it possible to restore the building while respecting its heritage character. Since then, the château has housed the headquarters and the Maison du Parc of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park. Since 2022, work has been carried out to improve visitor facilities, with a programme of outdoor landscaping, restoration of footpaths, art installations and a new permanent exhibition space, carried out between 2024 and 2027.
