Château de Bosc stands in Domazan (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Château de Bosc stands on a plateau in Domazan, between Nîmes and Avignon, in a building erected from 1870 for A. Capieu-Massip. The owner's death soon after construction left the interiors without finished decoration, a contrast with the typically lavish style of Second Empire buildings. The estate is now visited for its 12,000 m² park planted with cedars of Lebanon and for the collections gathered by the Reynaud family, the current owners: vintage bicycles and motorcycles, military aircraft, and contemporary sculpture. A zoomorphic dandy horse made by wheelwright Urbain Alexandre in the 1820s is listed as a historic monument object.
