Located on the borders of the tranquil hamlet of Châteauvert, Château Margüi is tucked away in the Provence hills about one hour north of Toulon.Upon first view, it seems to be just another idyllic scene from “French country,” another dreamy postcard from deep France…
However, in a nation—and an area—that takes great pleasure in its past, there is a secret house that is very old and impossibly perched at the nexus of nature and society. Based on archeological evidence, the Romans farmed this land 2,600 years ago for wheat, olive oil, and wine above all else. They were drawn to the site by the uncommon and exceptional mix of clean springs and distinctive subsurface clay. The springs here have never run dry, and a statue of the legendary water goddess Ondine guards them to this day.
