Château de Carles, Medieval castle in Saillans, France
The castle features a defensive architecture with machicolations, round and square towers, and a crenelated walkway on the northern facade.
The construction of Château de Carles began during the Hundred Years War, with the southern square tower representing the oldest section of the structure.
The castle hosted intellectual gatherings with notable figures such as Montaigne, while Marie-Charlotte de Saujon received personalities including Rousseau and Mozart.
The facades and roofs of the castle received historical monument protection in December 1991, with certain areas remaining closed to visitors.
The central vestibule displays ceramic tiles from demolished Tunisian buildings, integrated during the nineteenth-century restoration of the castle.
