The first thing which surprises while arriving on the spot is to see the state of decay of the building.

The Castle falls in ruin since the last owner left the places. The town of Marseilles proceeds in a program until 2007 to its rehabilitation.

This monument, which could be historical, is that of the author, bought before war to create there the city of the cinema, and already visited by Pagnol in their tour towards the Bastide Neuve.

This castle is well that of the fear and which is described in the second work of the memories of childhood, to see : Photo du Château de la Buzine.
