When it came to power, French kings Philip the Handsome and John the Good were determined to assert their position against the Avignon popes! The royal symbol of power was built in the 1360's on Mont Andaon, which overlooks Villeneuve. The impressive fortress housed permanent barracks, a court of law and a prison, which still contains 18th and 19th century doodles made by prisoners.

Fort Saint-André near Avignon sits atop a hill above Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, offering sweeping views of the Rhône and the papal city.
The fortress dates back to the 14th century and is almost completely preserved, including its defensive walls, towers, and chapel.
Visitors can explore the historic defenses and admire the medieval architecture from the battlements.
Exhibitions and guided tours are regularly held on site, vividly conveying the region's history.
