Château de Thézan
Key facts
About
Gallo-Roman villa, medieval fortress, Renaissance château, classical residence, then bathhouse: in Saint-Didier, at the foot of the Ventoux, Thézan layers more than a thousand years of history.
After more than thirty years of neglect, this vast Renaissance complex has been undergoing a revival since 2019.
The château is first mentioned in 1159. The seigneury of Saint-Didier passed to the Thézan family in 1483, who occupied it for nearly three and a half centuries. In 1862, the physician Adolphe Masson built a bathhouse there, fed by the village's springs.
Having fallen into disrepair by the late 1980s, the château was bought in 2019 by Pierre de Beytia and Emmanuel Renoux, who undertook its revival.
A Renaissance gem of some four thousand square meters, set amid greenery, the château is protected as a historic monument and is gradually opening to history enthusiasts.
