A Story That Began Centuries Ago
Château de Cabanes stands in Courniou, a rural corner of southern France whose roots trace back to the 10th century, when the surrounding lands were first recorded in a monastic charter. Over time, the area evolved into a masade—a traditional agricultural estate made up of stone dwellings, farm plots, and woodland.
The château itself emerged in the late 1600s, built or expanded by the De Guibbal de La Caussade family as the centerpiece of a working estate. In 1714, it passed into the hands of Antoine Roger, a merchant from nearby Mons-la-Trivalle. From that moment on, the estate became the seat of the Roger de Cabanes family, whose name the château still carries.
Honoring The Legacy
Just as Antoine Roger—once a merchant with ambition—claimed it as his seat in 1714, we now take up that mantle, stepping in as the next stewards of its legacy. From then on, it was known as the domain of Roger de Cabanes—a house led not by inherited nobility, but by character, resilience, and stewardship of the land. Through revolution, reconstruction, and the pulse of modern France, the estate stood firm—always lived in, always worked, never ornamental.
Now, we continue its legacy—not by changing its nature, but by elevating it.
The château’s next chapter is not nostalgia—it is renewal. Heritage preserved. Hospitality reborn. A farm becoming a haven.
And its story is only just beginning again.
