Once a farm property before it became a chateau in the 18th century, the main edifice today contains all the components of a typical Provencal chateau. The property is accessible via a large, ancient wrought-iron gate supported by two ashlar stone pillars topped with flame-vase finials as well as from the lower garden after a few stone steps safeguarded by two solid banisters, also in limestone, which lead to a courtyard located at the base of the chateau's southern side. This grassy patio atop a dry-stone wall terrace dotted with plane trees and adorned with a mossy stone fountain represents the estate's undeniable focal point.
The height of the trees, the babbling of water and the interplay of light between the leaves contribute to the feeling of privacy that this beautiful enclosed area creates, which provides a nice contrast with the breath-taking views from the terraces and pastures located beyond to the south.
The chateau has a wide, southeast facing façade with five vertical rows of windows framed by two right-angle wings to the south. During their construction, the pursuit for monumentality and symmetry gave rise to two buildings located on the patio's two southern corners, each flanked by a stately turret: the chapel and dovecote to the west and the caretaker's house to the east.
As for the buildings located outside of this central area, they are vestiges of its former agricultural activity and include a stable, sheepfold and agricultural storage building, to name
