The Château de Bagnols is classified as a historic monument and has witnessed eight centuries of history. The fortification and outside walls were built in the 13^th Century. With its moat and towers, the Château was designed to look out over the valley. With each new owner, the building has been modified and enriched. In the late 80’s, the Château was purchased by Paul and Helen Hamlyn who started to turn a nearly abandoned building into the elegant and luxurious hotel it is today. The Château is now a 5* establishment boasting high quality facilities owned by the Lavorel Hotel Group.
