The Romans were already there more than 2,000 years ago, and it later became a <strong>medieval fortress<\/strong>. It might have fallen into ruin, but an American artist couple, Henry and Marie Clews, fell in love with the place at first sight in 1918 and saved it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After extensive restoration, the castle was embellished with a multitude of creative architectural details, transforming it into an extremely unique building. With its <strong>red stone<\/strong>, huge terrace, and mysterious nooks and crannies, it\u2019s literally a movie set\u2014you\u2019ve probably even spotted it in <strong>*En attendant Bojangles*<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spirit of its owners still seems to linger in this remarkable castle. Visitors can also admire the works of Henry Clews, a sculptor who worked with Rodin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its exceptional location adds to the magic of the place, offering a spectacular <strong>view of the sea<\/strong>. The magnificent, historically designated gardens, designed by Marie Clews, enhance this enchanting setting. Spanning 2.5 hectares, the gardens feature a variety of distinct atmospheres and are sure to delight children with a treasure hunt.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mandelieu has two castles, including <a href=\"https:\/\/campingprovencale.com\/en\/tourisme-alpes-maritimes\/mandelieu-agecroft-castle\/\" data-type=\"alentours\" data-id=\"6465\">Agecroft Castle<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"infos-pratiques-pour-les-visites-du-chateau-de-la-napoule\">Practical Information for Visits to the Ch\u00e2teau de la Napoule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Days and hours of operation:<\/li><li>In April, May, June, and September, the castle is open to visitors Wednesday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/li><li>In July and August, it is open every day.<\/li><li>Several guided tours are held throughout the day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h2 id=\"les-activites-aux-alentours-de-mandelieu-la-napoule\">Things to Do Around Mandelieu-la-Napoule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During your stay, make the most of one of Mandelieu-la-Napoule\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/campingprovencale.com\/en\/tourisme-alpes-maritimes\/mandelieu-beaches\/\" data-type=\"alentours\" data-id=\"6453\">seven<\/a><strong> sandy<\/strong> beaches.
