Fort that stands proudly on Mount Andaon as on a pedestal in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon
Fort Saint-André stands proudly on Mount Andaon like a pedestal. It was built by Philippe Le Bel from 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. It can be reached by climbing up the fort and entering through a gate flanked by impressive twin towers. Crenellations, loopholes, watchtowers and machicolations give its two towers the appearance of an impregnable citadel. It is also used as a place for exhibitions.

Nous avons visité ce fort le premier dimanche du mois et donc c'était gratuit. Nous avons eu la visite guidée qui permets d'avoir pleins de petites infos. Il est impressionnant et donne une jolie point de vue
it is a place to see absolutely with a magnificent view over the city of Avignon. do not miss the gardens of the abbey.

Promenade le long des remparts, dans la salle des "Sorcières", dans sa chapelle, etc. Un beau retour dans le passé !
