To make a day of it

Château de Sauvan stands in Mane (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). Adult admission costs 12 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

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.
