Le Château de Grézan is a fascinating historical trompe-l'œil. Behind its medieval fortress appearance hides a 19th-century creation, built on a site occupied since Roman times and which became a commandery of the Hospitallers in the 12th century. Destroyed during the Revolution, the estate is reborn under the impetus of Gabriel de Mirepoix and the architect Louis Garros, in a style inspired by Viollet-le-Duc. With its ramparts, towers, and enclosure, it fully deserves its nickname of “Little Carcassonne” and is one of the most surprising wine castles in Languedoc.
