The publicly accessible château park with its orangery offers, across more than one hectare, a preserved English garden with diverse flora and a pleasant walk. The orangery was built in 1876 in the style of Napoleon III and has been a listed historic monument since 1990.
Those who choose Lunel-Viel as a travel destination may perhaps want to rent a holiday apartment there.
History and paths
The Church of Saint-Vincent probably dates back to the 6th century. Its preserved medieval bell tower is located in a 15th-century defensive tower that was built at the end of the Hundred Years’ War.
The Via Domitia runs through Lunel-Viel along today’s Chemin de la Monnaie. This route is still used, among others, by pilgrims on the Way of St. James.
Gardens and nature
The Jardin sec is located on the road to Lansargues and is designed as a Feng Shui garden. It combines sensory experiences with aromatic and useful plants, ecological design and well-being, while requiring extremely limited watering and maintenance.
Wine and music
Tour de Farges is a wine estate that produces Muscat de Lunel with the protected designation of origin AOP.
Every year at the end of August, the château park hosts the festival Un Piano sous les arbres. It combines so-called classical and popular music, as well as composed and improvised music.
Visiting and exercise
The prehistoric Grotte du Mas des caves is closed to the public. The fitness trail has twelve wooden exercise stations suitable for everyone.
