The village of LACOSTE, which has unalterably been associated with Le Marquis de Sade's legend, still reflects its ancient origins with its paved streets, battlements, medieval castle and old XV. century houses.

The name of Le Valin Bastide can be found through XV. century ancient texts. AT the time, the history of the village of LACOSTE is closely linked to the Vaudois people, who pursued by the inquisitors secretly meet at "Estienne Appy du Valin Esquire's".

Today, thanks to Pierre Cardin who has renovated its castle and created an outstanding festival, the village of LACOSTE has found its real place among the touristic and cultural sites in Luberon.

With its XIX. century Mansion and its XV. century Bastide, Le Valin real estate testifies of a historical period, shows the mark of a place and of a family who owned it for five centuries.

In this House which compels respect, due to its genuineness, guests are being waited for. As for ones who know how to look at things, unfailing images will for ever remain in their minds.
