Château de la Combe, 18th century château in Irigny, France

Château de la Combe consists of a large two-storey square building with a rectangular pavilion of the same height attached, extended by a lower construction. A wall and two small pavilions frame the present entrance and enclose an inner courtyard. The narrow corner tower with its conical roof was added in the 19th century; on the garden side a slightly projecting bay carries a triangular pediment. Two rectangular farm buildings stand to the southeast around a second courtyard.

Jean Pierre Croppet, lord of Irigny, commissioned this château in the early 1700s on lands that once belonged to the archbishops of Lyon. During the 1800s, the Bizouard de Montille family later modified the roofs and added a conical tower to update its appearance.

The château's name comes from the valley, or combe, where it stands. The Croppet family, lords of Irigny, built it in the early 18th century, and their arms — three blue cinquefoils on gold — recall that lineage. The Bizouard de Montille family, owners from 1870, left their own mark: a blue shield with two gold chevrons, a gold lion below and the motto Ense et Toga.

The château stands in Irigny, in the Lyon metropolitan area, and the buildings were converted into apartments after 2010, so the interior is private and cannot be toured. The entrance is framed by a wall and two small pavilions; the courtyard, the conical tower and the garden facade with its triangular pediment are what can be seen from outside.

From 1998 to 2010, the outbuildings served as a filming location for the television series Louis la Brocante. This period as a film set gave the property a notable presence in local television history.
