In Mane, close to Forcalquier, the Château de Sauvan displays a classical 18th-century design that earned it the nickname 'Little Trianon of Provence'. Built in the early 1720s from plans by the Avignon architect Jean-Baptiste Franque, the building still holds furniture recovered during a restoration carried out by its last owners. The surrounding grounds, with their terraces, ponds and French-style gardens, are open to visitors alongside the interior rooms.
