Lovely Italian-style loggia which lends the Château a certain "grand elegance". Fully furnished 16th century Renaisssance wing which houses 15th to 19th century art collections.
Open to visitors all year round. In summer, it becomes an artists' residence (painters, sculptors, musicians etc.), earning it the nickname "The Villa Medicis of Provence." The castle also serves as a Cultural Centre, hosting extravagant concerts in summer on the castle terraces (jazz, classical concerts and plays).
The Amis de Lourmarin Association organises conferences on various themes throughout the year. There are also numerous other celebrations including a Renaissance festival, a Spring pop and rock festival and a classical music festival in the summer as well as a variety of exhibitions.
