To make a day of it
Château d'Orvès stands in La Valette-du-Var (Var), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 17th century, 18th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
At La Valette-du-Var, near Toulon, the Orvès estate combines a Provençal country house from the late 17th century with a terraced garden recognised as a remarkable garden. The house was built by Vincent Martiny d'Orvès, first consul of Toulon, then extended by his son between 1683 and 1711. Visitors can explore an enclosed garden blending Mediterranean plants with species from other parts of the world, structured around an old hydraulic network of channels, fountains and pools.
What to know
- The garden can only be visited by appointment, so it is best to contact the estate beforehand.
- The visit takes place mostly outdoors, across terraces and paths, which involves some walking.
- The estate also hosts concerts and private events, which are separate from visiting the garden or the house.
- The country house and its chapel are listed as historic monuments, as is the wider agricultural and hydraulic estate.
- Parking is available on site according to the estate's information.
