Château de Barbentane stands in Barbentane (Bouches-du-Rhône), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 17th century, third quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

On the edge of Avignon, in Barbentane, this pleasure residence built from the 1670s for the Puget family combines classical façades with decorative refinement drawn from Italian taste. Stuccowork, marble and Italian-style terraces make up interiors reworked until the late 18th century, while the park and the outbuildings of the lower courtyard complete an estate that has remained largely within the same family. From its front steps, the site overlooks the village, the Montagnette hills and Barbentane's medieval tower.
