History ofChâteau du Trioulou

“Le Trioulou” – which means “clover” in the language of Oc – did not always have this XIXth century facade, right exit of a volume of the Comtesse de Ségur. As the Marquis de Valady writes in his book The Castles of the Ancient Rouergue, “Two very beautiful pieces, (it speaks of the dining room and the large gray drawing-room), remarkable for the elevation of their vaults and the The bold elegance of the ribs of one of them say enough of the antiquity of the building”.
As early as the 14th century, mention was made of a “Trioulou den”, belonging to Pierre de Trioulou and then to his son Hugues de Trioulou. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Le Trioulou passed into the hands of a family of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, the Hérail, who in 1629 welcomed the nuns of Sainte-Ursule, an epidemic of plague raging in the city.
The castle of Trioulou is then forwarded by the women to the Verminac. Then, in 1705, to the Colonges, by the marriage of Angelique de Verminac with her neighbor Alexis-Dauphin de Colonges, lord of Cenac.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Le Trioulou was sold to Armand Constans, who later sold it to the Maruéjouls in 1877. Emile Maruéjouls, deputy of the Aveyron and Minister of Transport under the Third Republic, and his son Pierre Maruéjouls, attaché of the Embassy and then Minister Plenipotentiary, who “so happily transformed and embellished this ancient dwelling”. The great modifications of the Trioulou were made under the aegis Paul Gout (1852-1923) pupil of Viollet-le-Duc, architect native of Villefranche-de-Rouergue.
It is today the great family of Marie-Laurence and Frédéric Beutter with their seven children that gives life to this castle.

Activities around Château du Trioulou

A stay at Château du Trioulou is the perfect opportunity to explore Aveyron, one of the most authentic and unspoiled areas of the former Midi Pyrénées region, now part of Occitanie. In the immediate surroundings, the landscapes of the Rouergue reveal a succession of medieval villages, fortified bastides and remarkable natural sites.

 

Among the must see destinations, the royal bastide of Villefranche de Rouergue and its rich heritage lead the way to Najac, Villeneuve d’Aveyron and Capdenac, all shaped by medieval history and the pilgrimage routes to Saint Jacques de Compostelle. Further afield, the village of Conques, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, captivates visitors with the Abbey of Sainte Foy and its pilgrims’ bridge overlooking the Dourdou River.

 

Lovers of architecture and spirituality will also enjoy visiting the fortified Abbey of Loc Dieu or the Chartreuse Saint Sauveur, true gems of Aveyron’s heritage.

 

A wide range of outdoor and sporting activities is available nearby, including hiking, tree top adventure courses, via ferrata, canyoning, caving, horse riding, fishing and golf at the Totche course in Villefranche de Rouergue.

 

Between villages of art and history, wild landscapes and outdoor adventures, Trioulou is an ideal base from which to explore all the many facets of Aveyron.
