During your visit in Villeneuve-Loubet, let’s discover the splendid and remarkably well-preserved castle of Villeneuve. Built in the Middle Ages, the castle is made up with a superb pentagonal-shaped donjon from the XIII th century. Its two surrounding walls with circular towers date from the XVI th.

A medieval fortress

At this time, the castle welcomed the King of the France, François the 1st, who ruled his kingdom from Villeneuve for 3 weeks. Owned by the Panisses-Passis family since 1742, the castle is situated in a magnificent park planted with Mediterranean and exotic species. It is a real opportunity to have access to this private residence, to go across the gardens and to walk the covered way before entering into the magical atmosphere of the courtyard.
