Proudly standing on Mount Andaon as if on a pedestal in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

Fort Saint-André stands proudly on Mount Andaon, as if on a pedestal. It was built by Philippe Le Bel in 1291 to assert the power of the Kingdom of France against the Empire and the Popes of Avignon, and to protect the town and its abbey. It was occupied until the French Revolution. Access is via the fort's ascent, through a gate flanked by impressive twin towers. Crenellations, loopholes, watchtowers and machicolations give the two towers the appearance of an impregnable citadel. An impressive monument not to be missed.

Impressionnant avec ses deux tours de guet immenses à l'entrée, il ne faut pas manquer la visite (guidée de préférence) du château.
Promenade le long des remparts, dans la salle des "Sorcières", dans sa chapelle, etc. Un beau retour dans le passé !
