Château-Abbaye de Cassan
The sumptuous Château-Abbaye de Cassan rises from the midst of vineyards and olive groves. A modest monastic retreat which became a powerful royal priory then a sumptuous princely dwelling, the castle houses a vast Romanesque church (XIIth cen.) and an abbey palace (XVIIIth cen.), warranting the name of the little Versailles of Languedoc. Here, the past breathes through the welcoming coolness a secular stonework. This historical site is a genuine showcase for a number of cultural events.
