Of the 86 castles we list in Bouches-du-Rhône, these 35 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 35 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 24 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Palais du Pharo (open to visitors), Bastide la Torse dite aussi château de la Torse (18th century), Château de Fonscolombe (Fonscolombe Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de la Pioline (Pioline Castle) (with a restaurant) and Domain of the castle of Avignon (302 reviews).

8 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 7 and the prices of 3 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 17 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 35 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
