La statue St Esteve

It is impossible to mention the history of Plan d’Orgon without stopping at the gates of the Château St Estève. «Le plan de St Estève» was in fact the name of a part of the area that would become «Le plan d’Orgon». This hunting lodge, built in the XVIIth century, would become in the XVIIIth century a castle, a meeting place for many celebrities. The Parrocel family, originally from Tavel (Gard), settled in the Château St Estève at the beginning of the XVIIIth century. Today, the castle is a private property.
