We record 95 castles, manor houses and strongholds in Vaucluse, spread across 60 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Palais des Papes (open to visitors), Château de Lourmarin (Lourmarin Castle) (a listed historic monument), Barroux Castle (18th century), Castle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape (1,206 reviews) and Château de Massillan (Massillan Castle) (you can stay the night).

21 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 17 and the prices of 13 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 25 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
