Château d'Esparron-de-Verdon, Medieval castle in Esparron-de-Verdon, France
The castle stands on a rocky outcrop with a square tower measuring 9 meters on each side and walls 1.5 meters thick.
First mentioned in 990, the castle became property of the Castellane family in the 13th century and underwent major renovations between 1520 and 1540.
The castle represents the incastellamento period in Provence, marking the creation of fortified group settlements during the Middle Ages.
Visitors can stay in guest rooms located in the 18th-century wing or choose self-catering apartments in the medieval section of the building.
The castle features a broad stone spiral staircase connecting multiple wings and includes a specialized tower known as the latrine tower.
