Château de Tarascon stands in Tarascon (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: 15th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the bank of the Rhône, in Tarascon, stands a castle built in the 15th century by the counts of Provence and later the dukes of Anjou, a residence of King René. Its largely intact walls, inner courtyards and seigneurial apartments reflect an architecture at the crossroads of Gothic and Renaissance styles. The visit traces the site's eventful history, from princely residence to prison and later a restored monument, through rooms that still hold painted decor and old graffiti.

This place also features in The castles of King René
