La Tour-d'Aigues

La Tour d'Aigues is under the influence of the Mediterranean climate characterised by hot and dry summers and mild winters.

La Tour d'Aigues was partly destroyed in 1390 when facing the assault of Raymond VIII de Turenne.

This crisis allowed Fouquet d'Agoult to acquire new territories: le Tourel, la Bastidonne, Saint-Martin-de-la-Brasque, and Cabrière d'Aigues.

His sister Jeanne, wife of Antoine de Bolliers, viscount of Reillane, inherited La Tour d'Aigues.

[6] When the Villeroys went bankrupt, they were forced to sell the Renaissance castle built by Nicolas de Bolliers in 1550[7] to Jean-Baptiste Bruny.
