Montauban Castle

Highlight • Castle

The beautiful Château de Montauban in Fontvieille as it stands majestically surrounded by olive trees and the scent of lavender. Its history dates back to the 17th century when it was built as a country house for the de Montauban family. But it was not only a place to live, but also a place of art and culture. Famous poets and writers such as Alphonse Daudet and Frédéric Mistral visited the castle and were inspired by its beauty and atmosphere.
Today, the Château de Montauban is a true treasure of Provence and a popular destination for visitors from all over the world. One can stroll through its gardens, admire the works of art displayed in the rooms, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet radiated from the castle's thick walls.

The Molino Avon

Highlight • Other

The Molino Avon is an old windmill in Fontvieille, the charming town in Provence, southern France. The mill was built in the 18th century and was originally used to produce flour from grain. However, over the years, due to technological advances and the use of steam and electric grinders, it became “redundant”.

Finally, in the 1950s, the Molino Avon was restored and converted into a residence by an artist named Jean-Marie Fage, but was restored again in 1998 and turned into a museum, showing visitors the history of the mill and the traditional craft of milling grain .

Today, the Molino Avon is a popular tourist destination in Fontvieille and a symbol of the region's rich history and culture. Visitors may also be able to tour the mill and learn about its history and function, as well as see antique tools.

There are five fully preserved mills in the forest. We only visited one by bike on this tour. A detour and a short hike are definitely worth it. Of course you can also ride from mill to mill on a mountain bike.
