Château de la Durette stands in Avignon (Vaucluse), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

South of Avignon, the château de la Durette keeps the outline of an 18th-century manor house, built on the initiative of a silk merchant who acquired the estate in 1748. The site has retained a farming purpose, since an organic pilot farm was set up here in 2007. Visitors find both a protected group of historic buildings and a landscaped park surrounded by orchards and meadows under cultivation.
