Built at the very start of the 17th century by Jacques d'Agulhac de Beaumefort, the Château de Rousson follows a classical plan flanked by four corner towers, barely altered since it was first raised. Mullioned windows mark the main facade, the entrance door bears a curved pediment, and old tiled floors survive inside. From the terrace, views stretch toward the Aigoual and Ventoux mountains.
