Nestled in the heart of 100 hectares of forest and fields, the Domaine Saint-Antonin still belongs to the descendants of Annibal Thus (1579-1644), canon of the cathedral church of Fréjus, who acquired it in 1633. From this period are kept a dovecote, flagship of the estate, as well as a chapel and some structural elements of the bastide. At the beginning of the 19th century, a large terrace with a small pool with jets of water and a beautiful staircase of access, was also arranged.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, this private estate opens its doors exceptionally to make you travel to the heart of traditional Provence.
