Modern Times

1850

Bayssan le Haut

Apollonie Cure bought Bayssan le Haut in 1850. Together with Father Jean Gaillac, who was in charge of the hospital in Béziers, they decided to set up an orphanage in 1857. At the same time, they created a religious congregation known as the Sacred Heart of Mary, of which Apollonie Cure became Mother Superior under the name of Mère St Jean.

1880

Famille Sahuc

Bayssan le Bas

Emile Sahuc, a wealthy landowner, decided to build a château in the middle of the vineyards. Louis Garros, an architect from Bordeaux, built Château de Bayssan in 1880.

His son, Joseph Sahuc, inherited the building. His wife, who had no children, donated it to the nunnery of the Cour Saint Jean.
