The Main House

With a sweeping panoramic view of the landscape of the Causse du Larzac and its Templar villages, Château Lescure stands firmly on its ancient cellars.

The 19th-century house boasts magnificent rooms on three levels, a grand semi-lunar staircase, a back stairway and a magical orangery. After years of being shut off from the sun by wooden shutters, the rooms now feel wonderfully light again.

The Chapel

A modest chapel stands protected by a group of pine trees. Within is an intimate space, stunning in its simplicity and humility.

Maison de la chasse

The hunting lodge is a country cottage dream come true with a huge stone fireplace to keep visitors dry while the roof is being restored and the rooms brought back to their former simple beauty.
