Château d'Ansouis, Medieval castle in Ansouis, France
The Château d'Ansouis stands on a rocky outcrop, featuring both medieval fortifications and Renaissance residential sections with French-style terraced gardens.
Built in the 10th century as a military fortress, the castle changed from the Forcalquier family to the Sabran family through centuries of regional power shifts.
The interior displays a collection of period furniture and objects that illustrate aristocratic life during the Age of Enlightenment in Provence.
Guided tours operate on weekends from April to October, with two daily sessions in summer, requiring advance reservations and cash or check payment.
The castle maintains its original 10th-century dungeon surrounded by isolated structures, demonstrating the evolution from military fortress to residential palace.
