History

In the twelfth year century (A century is now a period of one hundred years. The word comes from the Latin word saeculum, i, which…)., the lord of La Valette owned the lands of Montpellier, Castelnau-le-Lez, Clapiers and Montferrier-sur-Lez. In the 16th century the estate seemed smaller, but still represented a significant area. During the Wars of Religion, he belonged to a Protestant family, the Tremolets, whose father, Antoine Tremolet, was knighted in 1525. doctor (A doctor is a medical worker who is a doctor…) François 1er. Valletta seems to be used for large nocturnal gatherings of reformers. The estate passed in 1567 to Mathurin de Tremolet, grandson of the Huguenot, first consul of Montpellier. the second (The second is the feminine of the second adjective immediately following the first, or which…) Rondelet’s daughter.
The property was sold to Philip in 1604 Shepherd (Shepherd (shepherd) is the person responsible for leading and caring for the flocks…)Counselor of the King, who sold it to Barthélémy de Planque in 1604, judge (A judge may be a legal professional, appointed or elected to perform his/her duties. He/she…) From “Petit Scel”. The Planques, their descendants and allies, held La Valette for nearly a century, disputing the property with each generation before judges and notaries.

The son of a tutor-turned-carpenter, his connections led to his appointment as physician to King Louis XV. He marries his daughter to the chancellorUniversity of Montpellier (The University of Montpellier was an educational institution…) who succeeded him at La Valette and Versailles. Pierre Chirac’s grandson sold La Valette in 1778. The Protestant industrialist François Farrell, who had made his fortune thanks to a cotton textile factory, bought the property and seigneurial rights. The Farrells invest in and industrialize property. Lez is at the helm and 23 people go downwater (Water is a ubiquitous chemical compound on Earth, essential for everyone…) It is organized by running a flour mill, a mill (A mill is a machine that grinds grains of grain into flour, and by analogy…) for oil (Fat is a general term for fats that are…), stone saw, spinner, lime factory. Located at the bottom of a wet valley, the property is cleared by cutting down trees and leveling ditches and the banks of the Lez River.
Son Farrell inherited the property in 1788 and gave it to his nephew Paul-Louis Hours as a wedding present in 1821. For 30 years, Valletta was the center of all kinds of celebrations and receptions. But the upheavals of 1848 dealt a fatal blow to Southern factories, and the Farrells’ fortunes declined; La Valette was to be sold in 1851.
The Augier couple, who had recently stopped at Sète and arrived from Constantinople, where they were married, began a “crazy proposition” with the wife of a Drôme merchant. He eventually wins the case for an incredible amount. But their French pied-a-terre is beyond their means, and the huge loans they have contracted lead to their bankruptcy 18 years later.
In 1869, the new owner was Mr. Eugène Dubois, a merchant in Aigues-Mortes.
The next buyer in 1872 was Hippolyte Pazarois of Narbonnais, who held the estate with his son for a little over thirty years, living large and luxurious. But the income from the property collapsed due to the crisis of weak wine sales. Sold to La Valette for the 4th time in a row court (Court or jurisdiction (from jus dicere: literally “to say…) by insolvent owners.
By this time, the domaine, whose vines were not producing income, was no longer of great value and sold in 1906 for a third of its purchase price 34 years earlier. Henri de Lunaret, whose family owes its fortune to the sale of a building site outside the walls of Montpellier, buys La Valette as an investment. He died without an heir in 1919. In his will he bequeaths Valletta to the master city (A city is an urban unit (“human settlement”…) He leaves Montpellier and gives the usufruct to his sister Madame Busson de Lavevre.
