Château d'Assas stands in Le Vigan (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built in the mid-eighteenth century in Le Vigan, this private mansion exemplifies the refined civil architecture of Gard during that period. Erected between courtyard and garden to plans by François Tureau and completed in 1759, Château d'Assas stands out for its exceptional interior decoration: elaborate staircase well, alcoves, plasterwork, fireplaces and fine woodwork. Sold as national property during the Revolution, it served various purposes before being returned to the Assas family in the middle of the following century.
