Located in Saint-Tropez, the estate of the Château de La Moutte stretches on four acres, three hundred meters away from the Salins beach.
This extraordinary property, nested in the heart of a centenarian palm tree garden, was purchased and renovated by Émile Ollivier in 1860, at the time the First of Napoléon the IIIrd ministers. He married Blandine Liszt, Franz Liszt's daughter and sister of Cosima Wagner. From then, a prestigious musical tradition established in this place where the artists and the audience took great pleasure to meet.
Its library, which includes over 4000 books, has been kept as it was at the time. Students and historians regularly visit it.

Its management has been secured by the city of Saint-Tropez since february 2007. The chateau has been registered as a «monument historique ».
