Château de Beaucaire stands in Beaucaire (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 12th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Facing the château de Tarascon across the Rhône, the fortress of Beaucaire stands on a rocky spur above the town. Now in ruins but open to visitors, it retains a triangular keep of unusual design and a Romanesque chapel dedicated to Saint Louis. The restored main gate offers a wide view over the valley and the river.
