Origin and history
The house known as Château de Miribel has its origins in an old house called Vaux, mentioned several times in the 16th century. Although deeply redesigned, the current structure still incorporates remains of that time, especially in its architecture. Subsequent transformations, dated from the first half of the 19th century, modernized the interior and added external extensions, partially erasing its original defensive character.
One of the most remarkable elements of the castle is a room on the first floor, classified as Historic Monument in 2005 for its exceptional decor. This living room features a panoramic wallpaper entitled "Les Jardins de Bagatelle", complemented by a base decorated with pilasters and antique motifs in shades of grey-mauve and bronze green. The border, in black bristles on a copper green background, highlights the refinement of this ensemble, a testament to the decorative tastes of the 19th century.
The site, located at 175 Impasse de Luzy Pelissac in Miribel (Drôme), has a geo-localised location deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10). Although its history is partially documented, the available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) focus on its recent heritage protection and architectural features, without mentioning its current use (visits, accommodation, etc.).
