A Renaissance masterpiece in Provence, the Château de la Tour d'Aigues is located at the foot of the Luberon mountains.

In the restored rooms, discover the earthenware of the Tour d'Aigues: partially preserved pavement of the French Renaissance, white or ornate earthenware from the factory of Baron Jean-Baptiste Jérôme de Bruny (owner of the castle in the Enlightenment century). Imagine the past splendour of this building as it walked through its courtyard…
