It's worth a visit if you're nearby. Everything is very well preserved. 👍👍👍

Located in the heart of the Alpilles massif since 1489!

Notre Dame de la Major Cathedral is not "embraced" by the city walls, but supported by them. That is why here is the highest point of the old town with the best view.

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.

I don't live far away and I admit I don't know this city. I just go there by bike during my wanderings in the Alpilles massif. It is promised next time I stop to visit the city a little

Tarascon Castle, also Tarascon Castle, French Château de Tarascon or Château du roi René ("King René's Castle"), is a late medieval castle from the first half of the 15th century in the Provençal town of Tarascon in the Bouches-du-Rhône department . It lies on the left bank of the Rhone. It is considered one of the most beautiful medieval castles in France for its architecture, its location and its good state of preservation.

Impressive, old castle next to the river

Tarascon Castle is a magnificent example of a Provençal fortified castle. Its position on the banks of the Rhône River is truly impressive. The small town of Tarascon, beautifully shaded by its plane trees, is famous for its Rhône River monster, which is represented in numerous statues throughout the town. Legend has it that the banks at the foot of the castle have always sheltered the Tarasque's sleeping lair. Every year, the Tarasque Festival takes place, during which effigies of the monster parade alongside costumed locals. This provides an opportunity to enjoy a lively funfair. Another well-known figure associated with Tarascon is Tartarin, immortalized by the Provençal author Alphonse Daudet.
