The Domaine de Mattefer: The story

The first barn at Domaine de Mattefer was constructed around 1676 at the same time the Canal du Midi was being completed, and a farmhouse, stables and winery were added over the following two centuries.

There were numerous owners during this period including a colonel in Napoleon III’s army and Joseph Turrel, Minister of Transport for France. The initials JT can still be seen carved over some doorways and on much of the saddlery left behind from the days of horse-drawn carts.

The property was rescued and lovingly restored by the present owners in 1989, re-modelling the lovely stone and timber buildings to create a small collection of unique country homes.
