Château de Melun stands in Melun (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The royal château of Melun no longer stands: this former residence of the kings of France has completely vanished from the Île Saint-Étienne, where it once stood. Visiting the site today means walking through the place where royal power was once based, in Melun, Seine-et-Marne, rather than seeing any remaining structure.
