Welcome to Chateau de Paraza!

Here, you enter the former home of the Barons of Jougla of Paraza and the Counts of Forton, in the heart of the small village of Paraza. Elegantly restored French ceilings, herringbone parquet floors, shimmering silk curtains, a cloister with Caunes marble columns; everything contributes to the charm of this rather intimate and family-friendly address.

A few celebrities haunt these stone walls built in the 17th century. Besides Baron of Jougla of Paraza and the count of Forton, Paul Riquet was also a frequent visitor. This is a castle full of history, which hides many treasures.

The Terraces

To thank his hosts for six years of hospitality at the Castle, Paul Riquet built the seven terraces that cascade down to the Canal du Midi. Still a little wild, they offer a glimpse of the old French garden, with its marble fountains and boxwood.

The Cellar

Dating back to the 18th century, the winery gives a lasting impression. From the tasting space, wa can glimpse at the park where green oaks and aleppo pines make you feel out of time. Inside, we appreciate the cellar, combining tradition and modernity, cement and stainless steel vats, and a wine-ageing room with oak barrels.
