The history of Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres and Château Beaupré Deleuze
- 919 – The church of Saint-Laurent is first mentioned, in a deed donating it to the bishop of Avignon.
- c. 1150 – The Romanesque church of Saint-Laurent is built; it will be fortified in the 14th century.
- 1232 – The bishop of Avignon becomes owner of the village and of the castle next to the church.
- early 14th century – Under Jacques Duèze, bishop of Avignon and later Pope John XXII, the village gains defences: the keep receives its Gothic upper floors and the church is fortified.
- 1382 – The Tuchins, armed bands of the Hundred Years' War, plunder the castle of Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres.
- 1562 – During the Wars of Religion the fortress is taken twice by the Protestants.
- 17th century – Wikipedia dates the architecture of Château Deleuze-Beaupré, a residence it calls magnificent, east of the village to the 17th century.
- 1892 – The church and keep are listed as historic monuments; the Ribas tower follows in 1941.
- 1947 – The Lirac appellation is recognised, and Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres lies within its production area.
Wikipedia has no article on the château itself. In its article on the commune it mentions it as one of two fine estates east of the village, with 17th-century architecture. The other, La Bégude, an 18th-century bastide on medieval foundations, no longer exists. Opposite La Bégude stands the Romanesque chapel known as Thézan.
The village itself has a well-documented past. Its Romanesque church, the former castle beside it and its towers still rise above the rooftops: from afar, the crenellated skyline recalls the time when people from neighbouring villages sheltered behind these walls. To the south, pine woods lead to the Lirac plateau with views of Mont Ventoux; to the north, Mont Cau overlooks a vineyard famous since Roman times.

Where Château Beaupré Deleuze is: between Avignon, Orange and the Pont du Gard
Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres is a commune of about 3,000 inhabitants in the east of the Gard department, on the right bank of the Rhône, within Avignon's catchment area. According to the Expedia listing, it is about 16 minutes by car to Villeneuve-lès-Avignon station and 27 minutes to Avignon-Caumont airport. A car remains the simplest way to explore the region.
The Lirac and Tavel vineyards, two Côtes du Rhône appellations, stretch around the château: the listing names several wine estates nearby. In the village itself, the ramparts, keep and fortified church can be seen on foot in a few minutes.
Further afield, Orange and its Roman theatre, Avignon and the Palais des Papes, and the Pont du Gard are all within about twenty kilometres: a good radius for day trips.
