Château de la Piscine, 18th century French castle in northern Montpellier, France
The castle features lateral walkways flanked by monumental vases and statues representing the four seasons around a central water basin.
Built in 1770 by architect Jean Antoine Giral for Joseph Philibert de Belleval on the site of Mas de la Peyssine dating from 1435.
The castle demonstrates the architectural preferences of 18th century French nobility with its symmetrical design and formal gardens.
The property remains private and closed to visitors except during Heritage Days and special garden events throughout the year.
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother visited this estate during her private journey to France in April 1965.
