Château de Taurenne stands in Aups (Var), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Taurenne stands in the commune of Aups, in the Var department, close to an olive-growing estate that now bears its name. Its origins date back to the 14th century, and its name is thought to derive from a former fortified village located in the neighbouring commune of Tourtour. Only its façades and roof carry official heritage recognition, suggesting an exterior that has endured through the centuries while little is publicly documented about the interior.
