THE CASTLE OF ALLEMAGNE en PROVENCE
   ..
..........
.

The Castle of Allemagne is a complete microcosm of the fascinating history of Provence : Origionally built by the Castellane family (1218 - 1718) it passed to the De Varages family (1718 - 1839) then the De Ripert-Monclar family (1839 - 1936) and finally to the present day, is still lived in privately.

Your guide will describe to you how in Roman days Allemagne came by its name, how in 1586 the Catholic Baron De Vins laid seige to his Huguenot cousin Nicolas du Mas the Baron of Allemagne, and how 600 people were killed in the battle that ensued. In 1612 his son Alexander du Mas died in a duel and how the Château survived the revolution. .
