The Château du Rey
welcomes you in an idyllic setting from the 13th century.

The Château du Rey has watched over the Vigan region since the 13th century. Built as early as the High Middle Ages, it was designed to protect the Roman road of the Ruthenes linking Nîmes to Rodez. Equipped with a toll drawbridge over the river Arboux, it was a Protestant stronghold where the lord thrived on the cultivation of wheat, barley, buckwheat, olive trees, and silkworms. Remaining in the family through the centuries, the castle was burned during the French Revolution and then deeply remodeled and rebuilt by the architect Viollet-le-Duc in 1848.

In 1967, the castle was converted into a hotel, and its barn into a restaurant, now called "L'Abeuradou", meaning in Cévenol "The Drinking Trough". Since then, the Château du Rey has retained the soul of a family home and conveys an authentic way of life in a preserved historical and natural setting.

Beautiful words of customers

In front of a sea of greenery, we started with a divine cocktail. This was followed by an equally exceptional meal from the aperitif to the dessert (special mention for the rose-infused trout gravlax and Suzy's chocolate cake with violet cream). What a great surprise this newly taken over restaurant was, we will definitely come back with great pleasure!

"We had dinner at L’Abeuradou for New Year's Eve, great evening! Inventiveness like these oysters flavored with wasabi, excellent foie gras (which is becoming rare), mouth-watering spit-roasted lamb... Very friendly welcome and good atmosphere. Can't wait for spring to come back. We stayed at the chateau, very pleasant."
