Château du Champ, Medieval castle in Altier, France
The castle stands on a rocky promontory with two defensive towers and features a U-shaped layout within the Cevennes National Park.
Built between 1288 and 1308, the castle underwent modifications during the Renaissance period and received historical monument status registration in 1942.
The interior decorations include Renaissance elements, wall paintings by artist Storni, and classic wooden staircases that replaced original stone spiral steps.
The Varin d'Ainvelle family maintains private ownership of the castle since 1928, making it inaccessible for regular public visits.
The castle served as a filming location for the 2005 French film 'Saint-Jacques... La Mecque' directed by Coline Serreau.
