Ventabren, Medieval commune in Bouches-du-Rhône, France
The commune of Ventabren stands at 238 meters above sea level in the southern French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, near Aix-en-Provence.
Guillaume I, Count of Provence, initiated the construction of a castle in Ventabren between 920 and 940, establishing the foundation of the settlement.
The historic center maintains its medieval stone architecture with narrow streets, traditional Provençal houses, and a central village square for community gatherings.
The commune provides direct access to major transportation routes, with regular bus connections to Aix-en-Provence and proximity to regional railway services.
The Roquefavour Aqueduct, constructed between 1842 and 1847, crosses through Ventabren as the largest stone aqueduct structure in existence.
