La Maison des Chapitres is so named both because of its history as the episcopal residence, and also for the way it unfolds on each new floor and in each new room into new fantastic chapters, each totally distinct. The house dates from at least the 15th century, while the extensive medieval cellars are substantially older. After falling into disrepair in recent history, the house was taken over by David Galloway in 1980. An art curator, critic, collector and professor, David painstakingly restored the structures room by room over many decades, and joined them through the interior courtyard that now connects the parts via balconies and walkways. The result is reminiscent in part of an Italian palazzo and in part a Moroccan riyadh, while staying firmly rooted in Provence. With eclectic influences from room to room and floor to floor, the house could be mistaken for a museum of contemporary art and design from the world over.

The house has been a haven and retreat for artists, writers, and intellectuals since David took it over, serving as a summer retreat for guests to work, mingle, exchange ideas, and enjoy what Provence has to offer. The remarkable group that gathered here every year led to the construction of a fully functional atelier for the visual arts, a music room for classical concerts, and an enormous library of art books in the back house. The front house is comprised of a series of suites, each with a large salon, a master bedroom, and a luxurious bathroom.

The large, partially-covered rooftop garden with attached summer kitchen is a central gathering place in the warmer seasons, with views north to the Montagne de Lure and east to the Alps and Italy, and is a perfect spot to meet fellow guests, or just relax in a lounge chair and take in the sun.
