Tourist service in Valréas :
Classified as a "Monument Historique", Château de Simiane in Provence hosts cultural events and exhibitions. Its regular and varied programme is open to everyone looking to try new things in an extraordinary setting: young and old, lovers of painting, photography, music...
Invitations to travel, exhibitions and events for young audiences, music, moments to dream, discover, learn, share emotions... This magnificent residence offers beautiful exhibition and discovery spaces, both permanent and temporary. It houses an exhibition of models of the heritage of the nineteen communes in the inter-municipal area. The lavish Salon d'Honneur hosts concerts, conferences, lectures and workshops, as well as a range of cultural events and artistic activities, all year round.
The château was the property of Louis and his wife, Pauline de Simiane, granddaughter of Marquise de Sévigné. It was through this young woman that her grandmother's correspondance was published around the world. There is a direct link between these two distant châteaux which are separated by just several kilometres: Grignan where the marquise stayed, and Valréas, where her granddaughter lived.
