History
Chateau du Puy is a nineteenth-century château, a historic manor or country residence, in Tourrettes, France. It was constructed as a residence for General Fabre, and its design was conceived as an original architectural work that contrasts with the surrounding Provençal style.
The building stands on the heights of Tourrettes in the Var department, overlooking the Pays de Fayence valley. Its elevated setting forms part of the character of the residence and distinguishes it from the nearby architectural tradition.
Chateau du Puy is now privately owned as a condominium. Its apartments belong to individual owners, while parts of the property are jointly owned or managed through an international co-ownership arrangement.
