Built as a fortress in the 10th century, it underwent many changees, in the 12 and 13th centuries, when it was turned into a château, then again in the 15th and 19th centuries.During the Middle Ages, Ansouis was an ideal location from which to survey the road between Aix en Provence and Apt. Today, Ansouis has retained its original beauty. Prior to reaching the château, you cross the large square and wind through the narrow streets lined with beautiful old homes.
