Genesis of the restoration of the château du Grand Pré


Some of the most beautiful scenery in Provence
The château is distinguished by the astonishing quality of its exquisitely refined plasterwork decorations, which adorn the overdoors, piers, and ceilings, comparable in quality to many private mansions in Aix-en-Provence. These gypseries depict pastoral scenes, fashionable at the time, or allegories celebrating the social advancement of the patrons. They also feature cherubs celebrating their appreciation for the sciences and the arts.
