General Description Tarascon, sometimes referred to as Tarascon-sur-Rhône, is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France. Tarascon is located 23 km south of Avignon and 20 km north of Arles, on the left (east) bank of the Rhône River.
Front Description The construction of the current castle of Tarascon was started in 1401 by Louis II of Anjou, after the previous castle was destroyed. The construction was continued by his first son, Louis III of Anjou, and was completed in 1449 by his second son, René I of Naples. Thus, the castle is often referred to as le château du roi René ("King René's castle").
