Château de Rochegude has a one star Michelin restaurant and is close to Avignon.
During the thousand years of this château's existence, its owners have included
popes, dauphins, and less prominent aristocrats who showered it with taste and
money. This magnificent XIIth century fortress, once the summer residence of the
Marquis de Rochegude, Rochegude, towers majestically above the Côtes-du-Rhône
and its sumptuously furnished, air-conditioned rooms offer superb vistas of the
vineyards. Today each room is outfitted in a style inspired by a specific
emperor or king. The setting is 20 acres of parkland adjacent to the Rhône,
outside Orange. The Château's main building was rebuilt in the 16th and 17th
century and surrounds the 12th century tower. The private 10 ha (24.7 acres)
park has a heated outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court. The latest
renovations were done following the suggestions of Mrs. Noëlle Girard, interior
decorator from Carpentras.
