Château d'Autet

The château stands in the Luberon hills, featuring a rectangular structure with two corner pavilions and a triangular pediment on the main facade.

Built as a hunting lodge in the 19th century, the château suffered severe fire damage in 1960, leaving only the exterior walls standing.

The estate belongs to David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, who acquired the property in 1998 and planted lavender fields across the grounds.

Located 3 kilometers northeast of Gignac and 85 kilometers north of Marseille, the château maintains its status as a private residence.

The entrance displays an 18th-century wrought-iron grille, with a matching grille guarding the garden entrance across the street.
