I encourage you to visits and support this place. It had been abandoned until 2019 when the castle got new owners and the restoration was started. The castle has a long rich including kings and popes. It transformed from a majestic place into a mental hospital. Now it’s a touristic miracle which is being rebuilt right now. What an incredible find. The project to restore and share this hidden gem with the public is a real gift. Beautiful interior and exterior spaces, original paintings and motifs, just an amazing find. Amazing place. Beautiful and interesting buildings, rooms and garden all brilliantly explained on information panels and free audioguide. Puts lots of other places to shame! Very well worth it and at a reasonable price. Loads of free parking in the village close to the castle. Plenty of places to buy food for a picnic or nice restaurants to go to too in the village. All in all, delightful. Good luck to the owners with their ongoing work! A hidden gem that gives you an intimate experience of stepping back in time. We used the QR code to access a very well made audio tour of the which transformed the visit due to its friendly informal style. Written in the first person so that it takes you on a journey through the castle with its inhabitants. Unique, lovingly restored and well thought through. The baths used by men and women (i think when it was a retreat for those receiving psychiatric help) were in incredible condition and took you back in time. What a gem! Beautiful small in a charming classic French village. We went on Monday and the village had a lovely market. The surprising had many rooms to explore. The whole tour was less than an hour but I’m glad we made the trip from Gordes. Audio guide included (via your cell phone). Very friendly staff too. We enjoyed the tour of the chateau: the audio guide was very good. We were warmly welcomed by the receptionist and the owners. The has an interesting and varied which gives you insight into life in various centuries. We met the owners who are working very hard on the continuing restoration. They have accomplished a huge amount in a short time. I was amazed at the collection of furnishings and art. These help bring the to life. St. Didier is a charming village (with an excellent nougat and ice cream shop). The deserves to be much better known. An amazing experience! We didn’t do the guided tour but there was loads of info as we walked round. The of the is fascinating - from Roman times through to 30 years ago when it was a psychiatric hospital. The grounds were also full of info about the plants. I can’t wait to see the orangery which is currently being developed. Really well presented with an amazing interior. The audio guide was brilliant and gave lots of detailed about the of the chateau. We spoke to one of the owners at the end who was lovely and gave a lot of information too Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
