In 1893 a young industrial man, friend of the family, who is building a plant in Camaret (of which there are still the old brick chimney in the village center) asks the Coste family to use their service quarter to install its first machines and begin forming his employee: my great grandfather Martial Raud.

The Coste leave him their house Camaret as they come less often. My grandmother and two of my great uncles are born during this long stay.
In 1897 Martial dies suddenly at 41. We have to leave, the Coste get their house back, house now called "Château-Coste, as often in the south.

In September 1949 my grand mother, back from Madagascar, buys the the Château-Coste where she was born. The park is reduced to 2 hectares, but the trees are beautiful.
The path to the house are rows of plane trees, and the iron front gate from Girard (excellent ironworker from Avignon from the eighteenth century) continues to drive our friends towards the house.
