The monument historique that time forgot

How a French château ended up as a music venue tucked away in 12th-century surroundings.

The Castle of Alba-la-Romaine is a monument historique in Alba-la-Romaine, Ardèche, in southeast France. Built in the 12th century and reworked during the Renaissance, it today functions as a museum and concert hall. Listed as a monument historique since 1939 by the Ministry of Culture, the castle is a testament to France's past, with medieval allure that still exudes an aura of enchantment. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into the past as well as a stage for present-day music.
