Standing above the village of Flassans-sur-Isole in the hills of the Var, the Commanderie de Peyrassol was founded in the 13th century by the Knights Templar. Following the French Revolution, the Commanderie became the property of the nation and was then acquired by the Rigord family, until Dr. Rigord inherited the domaine in 1967 and replanted a large portion of the property. In 2001, Philippe Austruy purchased the property and gave it a new lease on life.
