Domaine de
Lagoy is a large agricultural property just North of St Rémy de Provence, near
the Alpilles mountain range (4km).
The Domaine was bought by the Meyran
family in 1677. Its main feature is the Château
de Lagoy, listed building.
The Château was built in 1714, a few years after the Lagoy kingdom was established in
Marquisat by letters patent in 1702.
The Domaine, which has been owned by
the family ever since, is currently the property of Mireille de Sayve, grandaughter
of the last Marquis de Lagoy, who died in
1946, and wife of Comte Jaques Senard, one time Ambassador of France at the
Hague, in Cairo and in Rome.
The architectural features include,
apart from the Château itself, a Provencal Romanesque style XIIth century chapel as well as a pigeon house dating back to 1636.
The monuments full of charm and Provencal traditions are
still to be much admired.
