Upon arriving at Valmousse, just from 20km from Aix en Provence, the visitor is first struck by the pronounced architectural and historical character of the chateau's immense facade, 45m long, its windows reflecting majestically in the large pool.

Then, one is overcome by an impressive sensation of space as one wanders past the rows of sycamores, the main terrace, the terrace and lawn of the orange conservatory, from which the view stretches all the way to the Sainte-Victoire mountain, before discovering the terrace by the kennels and the main courtyard, at the other end of which the Chapel entrance shelters.
The impression of space is completed by a visit of the reception rooms, where the entrance hall, the Granet salon, the parchment salon, the great hall and the orange conservatory succeed one another in a beautiful sequence covering 400sm.
