This is a list of castles in France, arranged by Region and Department.
Notes
The French word château has a wider meaning than the English castle: it includes architectural entities that are properly called palaces, mansions or vineyards in English. This list focuses primarily on architectural entities that may be properly termed castle or fortress (), and excludes entities not built around a substantial older castle that is still evident. Occasionally, where there is not a specific article on a castle, links are given to another article that includes details, typically an article on a town. Italics indicate links to articles in the French Wikipedia. If no article appears in either English or French Wikipedias, a link is given to an external website. The number in parentheses after the name of each department indicates the department number used for administrative purposes. The number of castles in France is estimated to about 45,000, a bit more than 1 for France's 36,000 communities.
