The Château of the Environment

Buoux - 84480

The former residence of the Lords of Buoux (the Ponteves family).
A harmonious construction that is medieval in origin, was altered in the 17th century and remained unfinished at the time of the Revolution, as can be seen in the right wing, which has no roof and is apparently in ruins.
The Luberon Regional Nature Park has owned it since 1987.
The Château of Buoux welcomes school parties and groups for residential classes whose focus is to teach students about the environment and heritage discovery.
The Château also houses the Centre for the Conservation of Wild Animals and a branch of the League for the Protection of Birds (LPO). It is not possible to visit the Chateau.
