In
and Around the Château
  The magnificent chapel allows one to step back in time, showcases artistic achievement of days long ago, and tells a story as well. The murals were painted by Isabelle Roman in 1892 and dedicated to the life of King Saint Louis. The 19th-century stained glass windows are decorated with the king's crown and fleur de lys. The Roman-D'Amat family tree is painted on the wall above the altar. La Chapelle is one of the many highlights of Château de Picomtal. |

  Dramatic views of
Château de Picomtal ~ one capturing a fleeting rainbow
and the other an evening event in the gardens ~ invite guests to come and
experience it all for themselves. This is the perfect vacation
destination in Provence's southern French Alps.

Conferences and seminars can be held at the château. For smaller groups, the Salle des Lions at the left is ideal. Walnut and pear wood parquet and wainscoting, a wood-beamed ceiling, Venetian mirror, and wallcoverings with a lion and fleur-de-lys motif adorn this unique space. Most interesting of all may be the 19th-century stained glass windows. The Salle de Conférence, a lovely vaulted room, dates back to the 14th century and at one time was a guard room. The original bread oven is still in the room. As the largest room in the château, it can accommodate one hundred people for conferences and concerts. |
