List of Castles in France

This is a list of castles in France, arranged by Region and Department.

Notes
  1. The French word château has a wider meaning than the English castle: it includes architectural entities that are properly called palaces, mansions or vineyards in English. This list focuses primarily on architectural entities that may be properly termed castle or fortress (French: château-fort), and excludes entities not built around a substantial older castle that is still evident.
  2. Occasionally, where there is not a specific article on a castle, links are given to another article that includes details, typically an article on a town.
  3. Italics indicate links to articles in the French Wikipedia.
  4. If no article appears in either English or French Wikipedias, a link is given to an external website.
  5. The number in parentheses after the name of each department indicates the department number used for administrative purposes.
