Château of Bachasse, Heritage château in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, France.

The Château de la Bachasse sits on a hillside overlooking the Yzeron river, with square pavilions positioned at each corner and a rectangular main building forming its core. The structure comprises a ground floor, main floor, and attic level with dormer windows, all accessed via a grand southern staircase.

The land passed through several owners: Pierre Giry, baron de Vaux, in 1732; the Lyon bourgeois Antoine Héris in 1784; and the silk merchant Jean-Baptiste Gerbes de Tours in 1831. His grandson-in-law Antoine Alexandre Giraud had the present château built between 1880 and 1890 to designs by Turbet and Alexis Tissot. In 1947 Noémie Giraud sold the estate to the SNCF, which entrusted the château to AGEFOREL in 1998.

The château serves as a venue for social events and corporate gatherings, having become a preferred location for such occasions. Its parkland setting provides a fitting backdrop for these functions.

The grounds span about 8 hectares with partially wooded parkland that visitors can explore during their visit. Access is provided via the broad southern staircase, which is straightforward to navigate.

The name Bachasse comes from a pond (bachasse) once dug in the farm courtyard on the estate. The old manor house that stood here was demolished in 1965, so nothing of it remains beside the 1880s château. The park covers 8.2 hectares and hosts the annual Bachasse flea market with over 300 exhibitors.
