The history of the domain goes back to at least 1652, when it was owned by the Chambellan family. This family also owned the property in 1777 when a Chambellan daughter married Louis Boisson and in this way connected the Boisson family with the property. The Boissons also worked as blacksmiths in the town and got from this the nickname "Caboche" (derives from the old Provençal word for horseshoe nails). This name was consequently chosen for the property (Domaine Père Caboche).
