Chateau de Barbentane, Castle and historical monument in Barbentane, France.

Chateau de Barbentane is a three-storey baroque pleasure house begun in 1674 by architect Louis-François de Royers de la Valfenière for Paul-François I de Puget. Its tan stone facade has a central arched doorway with a fanlight, a balcony and curved pediment, rows of tall windows with pale shutters, and a balustrade topped with stone urns. A stone staircase leads up from a lawn with a small pool and statue.

Begun in 1674 for Paul-François I de Puget, co-lord of Barbentane, the residence was designed by the Avignon architect Louis-François de Royers de la Valfenière. His son Paul-François II remodelled it in 1741 with the flat, low vaults it became known for, and Balthazar de Puget, ambassador of Louis XV in Tuscany, embellished the interior. Hilarion Paul de Puget, a former royal officer who accepted a general's rank, kept it through the Revolution.

The Puget family, co-lords of Barbentane, still owns the château, which returned to them in 1907 after passing through Pierre Terray from 1876. Balthazar de Puget de Barbentane, ambassador of Louis XV to Tuscany at twenty and chamberlain to the Duke of Orléans, embellished the interior in the 18th century. The building is nicknamed the "Petit Trianon de la Provence".

The château has been closed to visitors since 2014, so the interior, stuccos and marble work cannot be seen. From the village you can still walk past the facade and its stone staircase, and the south terrace looks toward the Tour de Barbentane and the Montagnette hills.

The château was a filming location for the 1970s television series Les Gens de Mogador, its best-known screen appearance among many shoots. Visits were possible from 1972 until 2014, when the house closed to the public.
