Chateau Leoube

Step into one of the most stunning protected estates in Provence along the Mediterranean coastline and join Carole Bamford, renowned English organic farm founder and lifestyle visionary, as she shares the fascinating story behind the renovation of the chateau and the preservation of the land Nestled on a spectacular rocky peninsula, the Léoube estate looks out on one of the most breathtaking stretches of French coastline. When Carole Bamford and her husband discovered their sleeping beauty over 20 years ago, they knew the property would need love, attention, and plenty of imagination. Seeing past the tangled overgrowth and the tired exteriors, the Bamfords glimpsed what this place could be for their family. Charmed by sloping vineyards, silvered olive trees, and the heady scent of lavender mingling with salty sea air, they began to imagine a future for Chateau Léoube that would befit its storied past. Working alongside internationally renowned architect Alain Raynaud, they began to restore the estate and breathe life back into its land. With this book, Bamford invites readers to step inside her stunning home in the South of France and join her as she shares the fascinating story of how her vision for Léoube became a reality.
