At Vitrolles-en-Luberon, the château du Grand Pré is a substantial bastide built in the late 17th century and reworked in the second half of the 18th, in the Louis XV taste. Visitors come chiefly for its refined stucco decoration, covering ceilings, overdoors and mirror panels with pastoral scenes and allegorical figures. The estate also includes a chapel, a dovecote, a clock pavilion and remnants of an early industrial activity linked to the fortune of its owner, a physician who rose to become a royal counsellor. The park, with its basins, terraces and planted avenues, rounds out the visit.
