# Domaine de Charance

Gap, Hautes-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Domaine de Charance stands in Gap (Hautes-Alpes), 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, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 5, 2026.

Perched above Gap, the Charance estate retains traces of a bishops' château reshaped over several centuries, surrounded by a park and terraced gardens laid out from the 18th century onward. The site combines built heritage and preserved nature: mills, an ice house and a sawmill recall its agricultural past, while the park features ponds, cascades and an alpine garden. Today it serves as much as a place for walking as for heritage visits, at the foot of the Charance peak.
