Villevieille, Medieval castle in Villevieille, France.
The castle features four rectangular towers connected by ramparts, with the Tower of Saint-Baudile standing as the principal structure from the 11th century.
Saint Louis stayed at the castle in 1240 before confiscating it from Pierre Bermond VII, leading to its subsequent acquisition by royal treasurer Pierre Scatisse in 1365.
The castle hosts the Festival de Villevieille-Salinelles, established in 1970, presenting classical music performances within its medieval walls throughout the summer season.
Guided tours of the castle are available from July to September between 2 PM and 8 PM, with adult admission at 10 euros and student tickets at 5 euros.
The castle remained unharmed during the French Revolution due to the friendship between the Marquis de Pavée and the philosopher Voltaire.
