Homps: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
History
The Château d'Homps was a fortified structure built at the end of the 13th century at the tip of a rocky promontory. Protected as a historic monument, the Château d'Homps consists of the tower, courtyard and rampart. After the Château d'Homps was abandoned and used as a quarry, only the tower, which was converted into a dovecote, remained.
