Origin and history

The Château de la Jansonne is an emblematic building located in Raphèle-lès-Arles, a hamlet in the commune of Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Built in the early eighteenth century, more precisely in 1718, it embodies the architecture and lifestyle of the Provencal aristocracy of that time. Its location in the Arles region, rich in historical heritage, makes it a notable monument of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

The castle was erected at the initiative of Jacques de Forbin Janson, a local figure whose name remains associated with this place. Since September 24, 1968, the castle has been classified as a historical monument, a recognition that also extends to its gardens, labeled "remarkable gardens". These protections highlight the heritage importance of the site, both for its architecture and its landscape.

The protected elements of the castle include facades, roofs and the garden, as evidenced by the classification order. Although the practical information about the visits or services offered is not detailed in the available sources, its status as a historical monument and its location in a picturesque hamlet make it a place of interest for heritage and regional history lovers.
