Today, the building consists of two distinct parts.<\/strong> To the west, the 14th-century <\/span>
sloping wing: comprises two buildings in a row<\/strong>, the larger of which houses one <\/span>
room per floor. In the centre, the main body of the hotel occupies the entire width <\/strong><\/span>of the site<\/strong> and hides the medieval wing on the east side. <\/span>
Its two symmetrical wings frame the main courtyard<\/strong>. It has a Doric portico <\/strong><\/span>
imitating the Colosseum<\/strong>, a reminder of the architect’s formative years in Rome. <\/span>
The windows on the fa\u00e7ades were also Roman-style at that time. Its fa\u00e7ade is <\/strong><\/span>
inspired by the Barberini Palace in Rome<\/strong>, built by Bernini.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″]

\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tHALL OF HONOUR OR SAINT CRISTOU ROOM<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThis room was named after Saint Christophe, the patron saint of the church of <\/span>Simiane, the cradle of the former lords. It has hardly changed since it was <\/span>refurbished around 1639 for the marriage of Louis II de Simiane to Louise de <\/span>Monteynard. At that time, it was the main room of the medieval hotel, which had <\/span>not been altered much.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
It may have been decided at that time to replace the old transom windows with <\/span>the present triple cross windows and to repaint the interior. The frieze in the hall <\/span>is the only surviving work. It celebrates the union in the largest of the cartouches, <\/span>above which two putti (angels) bear the coats of arms of the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The inventory of the property of their son Charles-Louis in 1661 describes the <\/span>entire room, with its gypsum fireplace (no longer extant), the seven Flanders <\/span>tapestries representing the story of Alexander, the twelve armchairs covered in <\/span>green velvet, the twelve caquetoires (light armchairs) covered with carpet, the <\/span>tables, including a folding half-moon, the stools and a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
As then, this room still opens onto the chapel covered with a gypsum (plaster <\/span>stone) dome. But it has lost the gilded leather trim of its altar, its altarpiece of <\/span>the Holy Family, its ornaments and its liturgical vestments.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

The 18th century cupboard doors come from the former <\/span>hospital pharmacy, restored in 1930.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tVictor Scharf Room<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Victor Scharf was born in Vienna, Austria. Married to a Valr\u00e9assienne, he lived in Valr\u00e9as from 1932 to 1943. The paintings and furniture, including two Empire chests of drawers, a square piano in lemon wood and a grand piano, were bequeathed by Mrs Cushmann, an American, daughter of Mr and Mrs Scharf. The room that bears her name has a special chestnut frame (partly 14th century).[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tThe belvedere<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\nThe central staircase, crowned by a belvedere, leads to the gallery on the first <\/span>and second floors. It is a staircase with parallel flights as seen since the previous <\/span>century. The ascent to the belvedere offers a beautiful 360\u00b0 panorama of the <\/span>town of Valr\u00e9as and the surrounding countryside.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

sloping wing: comprises two buildings in a row<\/strong>, the larger of which houses one <\/span>
room per floor. In the centre, the main body of the hotel occupies the entire width <\/strong><\/span>of the site<\/strong> and hides the medieval wing on the east side. <\/span>
Its two symmetrical wings frame the main courtyard<\/strong>. It has a Doric portico <\/strong><\/span>
imitating the Colosseum<\/strong>, a reminder of the architect’s formative years in Rome. <\/span>
The windows on the fa\u00e7ades were also Roman-style at that time. Its fa\u00e7ade is <\/strong><\/span>
inspired by the Barberini Palace in Rome<\/strong>, built by Bernini.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has hardly changed since it was <\/span>refurbished around 1639 for the marriage of Louis II de Simiane to Louise de <\/span>Monteynard. At that time, it was the main room of the medieval hotel, which had <\/span>not been altered much.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
It may have been decided at that time to replace the old transom windows with <\/span>the present triple cross windows and to repaint the interior. The frieze in the hall <\/span>is the only surviving work. It celebrates the union in the largest of the cartouches, <\/span>above which two putti (angels) bear the coats of arms of the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The inventory of the property of their son Charles-Louis in 1661 describes the <\/span>entire room, with its gypsum fireplace (no longer extant), the seven Flanders <\/span>tapestries representing the story of Alexander, the twelve armchairs covered in <\/span>green velvet, the twelve caquetoires (light armchairs) covered with carpet, the <\/span>tables, including a folding half-moon, the stools and a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
As then, this room still opens onto the chapel covered with a gypsum (plaster <\/span>stone) dome. But it has lost the gilded leather trim of its altar, its altarpiece of <\/span>the Holy Family, its ornaments and its liturgical vestments.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Married to a Valr\u00e9assienne, he lived in Valr\u00e9as from 1932 to 1943. The paintings and furniture, including two Empire chests of drawers, a square piano in lemon wood and a grand piano, were bequeathed by Mrs Cushmann, an American, daughter of Mr and Mrs Scharf.

It has hardly changed since it was <\/span>refurbished around 1639 for the marriage of Louis II de Simiane to Louise de <\/span>Monteynard. At that time, it was the main room of the medieval hotel, which had <\/span>not been altered much.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
It may have been decided at that time to replace the old transom windows with <\/span>the present triple cross windows and to repaint the interior. The frieze in the hall <\/span>is the only surviving work. It celebrates the union in the largest of the cartouches, <\/span>above which two putti (angels) bear the coats of arms of the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The inventory of the property of their son Charles-Louis in 1661 describes the <\/span>entire room, with its gypsum fireplace (no longer extant), the seven Flanders <\/span>tapestries representing the story of Alexander, the twelve armchairs covered in <\/span>green velvet, the twelve caquetoires (light armchairs) covered with carpet, the <\/span>tables, including a folding half-moon, the stools and a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
As then, this room still opens onto the chapel covered with a gypsum (plaster <\/span>stone) dome. But it has lost the gilded leather trim of its altar, its altarpiece of <\/span>the Holy Family, its ornaments and its liturgical vestments.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Married to a Valr\u00e9assienne, he lived in Valr\u00e9as from 1932 to 1943. The paintings and furniture, including two Empire chests of drawers, a square piano in lemon wood and a grand piano, were bequeathed by Mrs Cushmann, an American, daughter of Mr and Mrs Scharf. The room that bears her name has a special chestnut frame (partly 14th century).[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tThe belvedere<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\nThe central staircase, crowned by a belvedere, leads to the gallery on the first <\/span>and second floors. It is a staircase with parallel flights as seen since the previous <\/span>century.

On a permanent basis, <\/span>some forty models made by Jean-Claude Vangierdegom, a model maker with a <\/span>passion for architecture represent the main heritage buildings of the Enclave des\u00a0 <\/span>Papes and the Pays de Grignan.

\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tHALL OF HONOUR OR SAINT CRISTOU ROOM<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThis room was named after Saint Christophe, the patron saint of the church of <\/span>Simiane, the cradle of the former lords. It has hardly changed since it was <\/span>refurbished around 1639 for the marriage of Louis II de Simiane to Louise de <\/span>Monteynard. At that time, it was the main room of the medieval hotel, which had <\/span>not been altered much.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
It may have been decided at that time to replace the old transom windows with <\/span>the present triple cross windows and to repaint the interior. The frieze in the hall <\/span>is the only surviving work. It celebrates the union in the largest of the cartouches, <\/span>above which two putti (angels) bear the coats of arms of the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The inventory of the property of their son Charles-Louis in 1661 describes the <\/span>entire room, with its gypsum fireplace (no longer extant), the seven Flanders <\/span>tapestries representing the story of Alexander, the twelve armchairs covered in <\/span>green velvet, the twelve caquetoires (light armchairs) covered with carpet, the <\/span>tables, including a folding half-moon, the stools and a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
As then, this room still opens onto the chapel covered with a gypsum (plaster <\/span>stone) dome. But it has lost the gilded leather trim of its altar, its altarpiece of <\/span>the Holy Family, its ornaments and its liturgical vestments.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

The 18th century cupboard doors come from the former <\/span>hospital pharmacy, restored in 1930.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tVictor Scharf Room<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Victor Scharf was born in Vienna, Austria. Married to a Valr\u00e9assienne, he lived in Valr\u00e9as from 1932 to 1943. The paintings and furniture, including two Empire chests of drawers, a square piano in lemon wood and a grand piano, were bequeathed by Mrs Cushmann, an American, daughter of Mr and Mrs Scharf. The room that bears her name has a special chestnut frame (partly 14th century).[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tThe belvedere<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\nThe central staircase, crowned by a belvedere, leads to the gallery on the first <\/span>and second floors. It is a staircase with parallel flights as seen since the previous <\/span>century. The ascent to the belvedere offers a beautiful 360\u00b0 panorama of the <\/span>town of Valr\u00e9as and the surrounding countryside.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

On a permanent basis, <\/span>some forty models made by Jean-Claude Vangierdegom, a model maker with a <\/span>passion for architecture represent the main heritage buildings of the Enclave des\u00a0 <\/span>Papes and the Pays de Grignan. These models are displayed and forming an integral part of the visit to the castle, thus transformed into a museum of local <\/span>heritage<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tHALL OF HONOUR OR SAINT CRISTOU ROOM<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThis room was named after Saint Christophe, the patron saint of the church of <\/span>Simiane, the cradle of the former lords. It has hardly changed since it was <\/span>refurbished around 1639 for the marriage of Louis II de Simiane to Louise de <\/span>Monteynard. At that time, it was the main room of the medieval hotel, which had <\/span>not been altered much.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
It may have been decided at that time to replace the old transom windows with <\/span>the present triple cross windows and to repaint the interior. The frieze in the hall <\/span>is the only surviving work. It celebrates the union in the largest of the cartouches, <\/span>above which two putti (angels) bear the coats of arms of the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The inventory of the property of their son Charles-Louis in 1661 describes the <\/span>entire room, with its gypsum fireplace (no longer extant), the seven Flanders <\/span>tapestries representing the story of Alexander, the twelve armchairs covered in <\/span>green velvet, the twelve caquetoires (light armchairs) covered with carpet, the <\/span>tables, including a folding half-moon, the stools and a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
As then, this room still opens onto the chapel covered with a gypsum (plaster <\/span>stone) dome. But it has lost the gilded leather trim of its altar, its altarpiece of <\/span>the Holy Family, its ornaments and its liturgical vestments.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Married to a Valr\u00e9assienne, he lived in Valr\u00e9as from 1932 to 1943. The paintings and furniture, including two Empire chests of drawers, a square piano in lemon wood and a grand piano, were bequeathed by Mrs Cushmann, an American, daughter of Mr and Mrs Scharf. The room that bears her name has a special chestnut frame (partly 14th century).[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tThe belvedere<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\nThe central staircase, crowned by a belvedere, leads to the gallery on the first <\/span>and second floors. It is a staircase with parallel flights as seen since the previous <\/span>century. The ascent to the belvedere offers a beautiful 360\u00b0 panorama of the <\/span>town of Valr\u00e9as and the surrounding countryside.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tHALL OF HONOUR OR SAINT CRISTOU ROOM<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThis room was named after Saint Christophe, the patron saint of the church of <\/span>Simiane, the cradle of the former lords. It has hardly changed since it was <\/span>refurbished around 1639 for the marriage of Louis II de Simiane to Louise de <\/span>Monteynard. At that time, it was the main room of the medieval hotel, which had <\/span>not been altered much.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
It may have been decided at that time to replace the old transom windows with <\/span>the present triple cross windows and to repaint the interior. The frieze in the hall <\/span>is the only surviving work. It celebrates the union in the largest of the cartouches, <\/span>above which two putti (angels) bear the coats of arms of the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The inventory of the property of their son Charles-Louis in 1661 describes the <\/span>entire room, with its gypsum fireplace (no longer extant), the seven Flanders <\/span>tapestries representing the story of Alexander, the twelve armchairs covered in <\/span>green velvet, the twelve caquetoires (light armchairs) covered with carpet, the <\/span>tables, including a folding half-moon, the stools and a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
As then, this room still opens onto the chapel covered with a gypsum (plaster <\/span>stone) dome. But it has lost the gilded leather trim of its altar, its altarpiece of <\/span>the Holy Family, its ornaments and its liturgical vestments.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

The 18th century cupboard doors come from the former <\/span>hospital pharmacy, restored in 1930.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tVictor Scharf Room<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]Victor Scharf was born in Vienna, Austria. Married to a Valr\u00e9assienne, he lived in Valr\u00e9as from 1932 to 1943. The paintings and furniture, including two Empire chests of drawers, a square piano in lemon wood and a grand piano, were bequeathed by Mrs Cushmann, an American, daughter of Mr and Mrs Scharf. The room that bears her name has a special chestnut frame (partly 14th century).[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\tThe belvedere<\/span>\n<\/h6>\n\n\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\nThe central staircase, crowned by a belvedere, leads to the gallery on the first <\/span>and second floors. It is a staircase with parallel flights as seen since the previous <\/span>century. The ascent to the belvedere offers a beautiful 360\u00b0 panorama of the <\/span>town of Valr\u00e9as and the surrounding countryside.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
