A New Way to Experience Family Travel
At Château de Cabanes, the pace of life mirrors the landscape — unhurried, grounding, beautifully simple. Nestled in the forests of the South of France, this 12th-century estate invites families into an experience of nature, connection, and clarity.
This is a new expression of family travel: shaped by the outdoors, guided by intention, and crafted for both childhood wonder and adult restoration.
