アランの洞窟・トップ9

The Château des Adhémar in Montélimar is a stunning example of medieval architecture and a significant landmark in the Drôme region. Originally built in the 11th century by the Counts of Toulouse, it was expanded into a magnificent palace by the Adhémar family in the 12th century. Over the centuries, it has served as a fortress, citadel, and prison. Today, it is a publicly accessible monument historique and offers a fascinating insight into the region's history. Visitors can admire the well-preserved Romanesque architectural features and enjoy the breathtaking views from the battlements.

nice little walk visiting the town center of Montelimar with a stop at the restaurant Le Troquet next to the post office

Impressive restoration of the chateau after it's fairly comprehensive destruction on orders of the Revolution.

A visit to the château is highly recommended; beautiful castle in a beautiful location with a view of Mont Ventoux.

Rochemaure Castle, perched above the eponymous village, is a historical treasure that transports us to the medieval past. Probably built by the Adhémar family between the 11th and 12th centuries, this castle has not yet revealed all its secrets.

The raised castle complex in the middle of the small town can be seen from afar. The once medieval castle was transformed over time into a Renaissance palace.

The château is also very beautiful when viewed from the east!

This castle (private property) founded in the 14ᵉ century retains very few vestiges of this period. It was refurbished in the 17ᵉ century, with a south facade made in the 19ᵉ century in a neo-medieval style. Its current quadrangular plan is confined to the corners of four circular turrets; its four wings overlook an interior courtyard accessible from the east. The agricultural outbuilding (farm) which was attached to it and adjoining to the northeast, probably in the 19ᵉ century, adopts a U-shaped plan. It has an interior courtyard and includes a stable wing.
