With birdsong, Mediterranean species and breathtaking views, every step is an invitation to contemplate.

The vineyard path
(2.1km - blue)
Just 2 kilometers long, this easy path is ideal for a leisurely walk. It offers a great overview of the estate, while remaining close to the Bastide and production sites.
Château des Demoiselles covers almost 200 hectares of forest and 71 hectares of vines, in the heart of an unspoilt, authentic landscape. Steeped in history, the estate belonged to the Grimaldi family in the 18th century. It was also a key site in the Liberation of Provence, welcoming American paratroopers to its fields on 15 August 1944. In 2005, it was renamed Château des Demoiselles, in homage to the Demoiselles de Provence, daughters of the Count of Provence in the 13th century, who went on to become queens of the great European monarchies.

The woodland path
(3.8km - orange)
This path runs alongside a lake teeming with life, a true symbol of the vineyard's remarkable biodiversity.
Part of our vineyard has been classified as a Natura 2000 zone, a European measure designed to protect exceptional natural sites for their ecological richness. This recognition means that we have to take practical steps to preserve this living heritage. If you approach the water discreetly, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the European Cistude tortoise or the common green frog, emblematic species of this preserved ecosystem.

The Endre path
(6.2km - red)
Part of this path follows the course of the Endre, a discreet but essential river that runs through the landscape of Le Muy.
A veritable living thread of water, the Endre brings freshness, life and diversity to the surrounding ecosystem. Its banks are home to a variety of flora and fauna typical of Provençal wetlands: dragonflies, herons, willows and poplars live side by side in natural harmony. The river also plays a crucial role in irrigating the surrounding farmland and vineyards.

The Red Rocks path
(8km - black)
This path offers a privileged view of the exceptional location of our vineyard, nestling between two prestigious Provencal massifs: the Estérel and the Massif des Maures.
This unique geographical configuration gives the soil a richness derived from the mixture of sediments from the magmatic rocks of the Estérel and the metamorphic rocks of the Maures. In addition to this geological advantage, the vines benefit from a constant flow of natural air, which ensures optimum ventilation. Taken together, these conditions provide the ideal conditions for vines to flourish and produce great wines.
