Tourtour

Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

In Tourtour, the narrow streets are lined with stone houses capped with round tiles. Lanes, stairs and vaulted passages are punctuated by fountains, whose very sound refreshes the passer-by in the sun-crushed summer. A tangle of streets surrounds the two castles: the first dates from the Middle Ages while the second, with its four round towers with pepper-pot roofs, was built in the sixteenth century. The village church, built in the twelfth century, was remodelled in the nineteenth.
