On the right bank of the Durance river, Peyruis is located at the foot of wooded hills. The village is dominated by traces of a feudal castle, real fortress as shown by the large ruins of the surrounding wall. From the castle, destroyed during the French revolution, remains the leveled foundations and the separation wall which seems to date from the XVIth or XVIIth century. The massive ancient dungeon is still almost fully here, transformed in a pigeon shelter.
