The Chateau with a Secret Tapestry

One room in this medieval castle reveals hidden stories from the past with a stunning tapestry.

Château d'Aujargues, a medieval castle in the commune of Aujargues near Sommières, is as much a story-teller as it is a monument historique. Although the building dates back to the 17th century, it houses a unique tapestry made in the same period, revealing a panorama of the lives of its inhabitants, and their connections to some of the region’s eminent figures. This artifact is the highlight of the centuries-old structure, filling a room with stories from the past, held in a fascinating tapestry.
