From its high position on a basalt ridge, overlooking the Rhône Valley and the village of Rochemaure, this 12th- century fortress has retained features from its medieval past such as a Romanesque keep, the remains of a stately home, as well as crenellated ramparts that go all the way down the hill. You must be sure to take a stroll around the restored Fare quarter, beside the castle, where there are picturesque stone houses .Below stands the outline of the 13th-century Chapel of Our Lady of the Angels (Notre-Dame-des-Anges), in the Provençal Gothic style.
In July and August, a sound and light show highlights the heritage of fortified Rochemaure.
