Beautiful medieval castle (12th century) classified as a historic monument since 1990. Private property, cannot be visited but the facade and surrounding walls are worth a detour. Very beautiful view of the Rhône plain and the Alpilles

Limitless horizon. I suppose we must see the sea in very good weather.
The arrival from the racing circuit further adds to the perspective.
Its construction appears to date from the 12th century. Dating was made possible thanks to the use of blocks of calcitic concretions coming from the pipes of the Roman aqueduct of Nîmes. When visiting the castle, we can still spot these rubble stones today with their multiple parallel streaks which correspond to the different planes of crystallization of the limestone. By comparing with the blocks of the church of Saint Bonnet and the Saint Étienne chapel of Saint Hilaire d'Ozilhan, we were able to estimate the construction of part of this building around 1150-1200. But we had to wait until 1311 for it to be cited
