Tarascon, Medieval commune in Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
Tarascon stands on the left bank of the Rhône River, 23 kilometers south of Avignon, with a 15th-century castle dominating its landscape.
The construction of Château du Roi René between 1400 and 1449 established Tarascon as a strategic point for monitoring the Provence border.
The Collegiate Church of Saint Martha contains a fourth-century sarcophagus in its crypt, preserving relics of the town's patron saint.
The town provides transportation connections through train services and multiple bus lines, linking visitors to Avignon, Camargue, and the Luberon region.
The Souleiado Museum displays traditional Provencal fabric in a 14th-century building, where local manufacturers continue production for worldwide distribution.
