About La tour de Chamaret
In the Drôme provençale, the village of Chamaret is dominated by its striking medieval tower, the remains of an old castle mentioned as early as the 12th century, which rises high above the surrounding countryside like a great stone sentinel. This tall keep, visible for miles across the vineyards, lavender fields and hills of the Drôme, once guarded the region and now offers, to those who climb it, a magnificent panorama over the Provençal landscapes toward Mont Ventoux and the distant mountains. The old village at its foot adds to the charm. Historic, striking and offering superb views, the Tower of Chamaret is a landmark of the Drôme provençale, an evocative reminder of the medieval past and a wonderful vantage point over the sun-drenched countryside of southern France, close to the vineyards and villages of the region.
