| Château de Crussol by Élisabeth Fort-Simeon circa 1850 |
Flares into Darkness has posted a selection of paintings of castles. This one caught my eye, I suppose because of its position at the top of the cliff. Wikipedia tells us the site has been occupied since Roman times. The stone castle in the picture dates from the 12th century.

| The castle is halfway between Lyon and Avignon |
Do not confuse Avignon with Agincourt. There were two sieges of Avignon, one in 737 and one in 1226, but it was Agincourt where the English soundly trounced the French. Agincourt is in northern France, not way down south like Avignon.
