The beautiful Château de Montauban in Fontvieille as it stands majestically surrounded by olive trees and the scent of lavender. Its history dates back to the 17th century when it was built as a country house for the de Montauban family. But it was not only a place to live, but also a place of art and culture. Famous poets and writers such as Alphonse Daudet and Frédéric Mistral visited the castle and were inspired by its beauty and atmosphere.
Today, the Château de Montauban is a true treasure of Provence and a popular destination for visitors from all over the world. One can stroll through its gardens, admire the works of art displayed in the rooms, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet radiated from the castle's thick walls.
