Chateau Apartment for 4 People with a Shared Pool

A magnificent 16th-century castle, the Château de Fan is located in the town of Lussan, in the Gard department.
Nestled in the heart of the garrigue between Uzès and the Cévennes, perched on a rocky outcrop, lies one of the most beautiful villages in France: Lussan.
Lussan is a charming medieval village perched on a rocky outcrop. Throughout history, it has served as a strategic communications hub.
Located near Nîmes in a stunning natural setting, Lussan offers its residents an exceptional quality of life.
Built in 1550 by Gaspart d’Audibert, Lord of Lussan, son of Pierre d’Audibert and Claudine de Laudun.
The castle owes its name to its proximity to the “Le Fan” stream.
Neglected in the 18th century, the castle was sold to Théophile Gide, a resident of Lussan and great-grandfather of the writer André Gide. Needing money, the Gide family sold it to the municipality in 1920. The building became a gendarmerie around 1960 before being relocated to Audabiac in 1980. The municipality provides security, but the buildings are poorly maintained.
This feudal structure features
- 4 corner towers with a glacis
- High curtain walls connecting the towers
The castle is located on the edge of the Cévennes, where you can enjoy enchanting hikes.
You can also explore the village centre of Lussan, whose history and pottery are known around the world.
Further afield, you’ll find the Ardèche with its canoeing opportunities, Avignon with the Palais des Papes, Nîmes with the Jardins de la Fontaine and its amphitheatre, and finally Uzès with its Haribo museum, its ducal palace, and its Saturday morning market.
Nearby, you can visit Goudargues, nicknamed “Little Venice of Provence”; continue your day by passing through Les Concluses; and finish at the Sautadet waterfalls and the village of La Roque-sur-Cèze, which can only be explored on foot.
