The White Lotus fans will be rejoiced to know that the filming location of season 4 has been locked in. The first season was shot in Maui, Hawaii, the second in Sicily, Italy, and the third in Thailand. According to Variety, the fourth season will be shot in Saint-Tropez, France.
Since the show's theme revolves around wealthy people vacationing at luxury resorts while unravelling secrets, exposing dysfunctional relationships, and confronting class conflicts, the team could not have chosen a more appropriate location than Chateau de la Messardiere, a 19th-century French castle. Do you want more to add drama to a show? Shoot it in a French setting, as we have seen in Emily in Paris, too.
About Chateau de la Messardiere In Saint Tropez, France
Saint-Tropez is a stunning seaside resort town on the French Riviera (Cote d'Azur), and among them, Chateau de la Messardiere is one of the most sought-after destinations. In fact, if you head to check out the booking dates, you won't find any date before late April 2026.
It is a 19th-century castle, which was originally built as a wedding gift from Gabriel Dupuy d'Angeac, a rich cognac merchant, to his daughter, Louise Dupuy d'Angeac, and her husband, cavalry officer Henry Brisson de La Messardiere.
Over the years, its owners changed quite a few times, and it was even left deserted for years. Finally, the castle was restored in 1989 with the supervision of Jean-Claude Rochette, chief architect of France's Monuments Historiques.
What most people witness today is a luxurious stay, boasting a blend of Anglo-Moorish, Mediterranean, Oriental, Provencal, and Florentine styles. Its historic charm complements the lush Ramatuelle vineyards of Saint-Tropez.
However, the castle's latest journey only began in 2019 when it joined the Airelles Collection, a luxurious cluster of opulent palaces and stunning 5-star properties in the Alps, Saint-Tropez, Versailles, and Provence. After renovations and equipping the space with modern amenities, it again opened its gates for guests in July 2021.
