Oldest castle in Provence on the market.
Not a lot of pictures, alas. No inside peeks available but in case you were wondering what a castle from the year 700 looks like in Provence: like a big old house on top of a cliff, essentially. No, it's not particularly impressive.
But hey, it's got charm...
