Tour de Barcelonne, Medieval tower in Barcelonne, France
The stone keep rises through four levels and provides views across the Vercors mountains and the Drôme valley from its observation platform.
This fortified tower from the 12th century formed the central structure of a feudal castle built to defend the region from invasions.
The tower stands as an example of French medieval military architecture with its three-meter-thick defensive walls and strategic position.
Visitors can reach the tower by following marked trails from Barcelonne village, with an estimated walking time of 30 minutes.
From the summit, observers can see the Vercors mountains, the Three Peaks massif, and the foothills of the Alps in one panoramic view.
