A PLACE STEEPED IN HISTORY...

Château de Forbin is a former hunting lodge which, over the centuries and under the impetus of the de Forbin family, became an aristocratic residence.

The de Forbin family grew rich in commerce during the 15th century, and over time became one of the most influential families in the Marseilles region. It was during this period that Guillaume de Forbin acquired the hunting lodge.

In the 19th century, the Forbin family transformed the hunting lodge into a large bastille characterized by its corner turret.

The superb spiral staircase in the library is said to be by Gustave Eiffel!

Discover also our estate located on the heights of Cassis, La Ferme D'Anaïswhich can be twinned with Le Château de Forbin for groups requiring up to 45 beds.

  A truly exceptional venue, both for its hidden location in the middle of a magnificent French-style park bordered by the contrasting forest that gives rise to the Calanques natural park, and for the quality of its construction and high-level interior finishing.
The works are highly diverse, and their qualities and rarities are highlighted by fascinating explanations.
The Post-Graffiti movement really shines through in all its splendor, and can be discovered with interest and delight.
A must-see with friends...!
