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 (French: château-fort), 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.
