The Château Laurens

This former 12-hectare farm became an island in the 17th Century during the construction of the Canal du Midi.

Bordered by the Canalet, the Hérault and the Canal du Midi, Belle-Isle has an outstanding situation with its parc, it’s a real oasis of coolness.
A footbridge crosses the Canalet to give access to the estate and its château, built between 1898 and 1901 by Emmanuel Laurens, heir to a vast fortune, a great traveller and art-lover. 

He decided to base his château on memories of his amazing journeys.  

The architecture is neo-classical (colonnades, balusters, terraced roofs) while the ornamentation is Art Nouveau, with a profusion of stained glass, wrought iron, paintings and colours of oriental inspiration.
