Village of Tourtour:
The villa is a 10 minute walk from Tourtour, known as the 'Village in the Sky' for its exceptional views of the surrounding countryside and listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. The village square is lively in summer with many good restaurants, two bars, and a number of art galleries & boutiques. There is a small supermarket and boulangerie (baker). The medieval part of the village has lovely little courtyards and narrow passageways, as well as a fossil museum and a working olive mill which in summer is used by local artists for exhibitions.
Surrounding Area:
There are many other nearby villages to visit, all with something of interest. The Gorges du Verdon and Lake St Croix which offer swimming, canoeing and walking in breathtaking scenery are only 25 minutes away. The Mediterranean and sandy beaches are also about 50 minutes to the south at Les Issambres, Frejus or St. Maxime and it’s just a little further to St Tropez. The region has many interesting chateaux, abbeys, wine domains, art exhibitions and frequent local markets.
Access:
The main auto route, the A8, is only 30 minutes away so Nice, Cannes, Aix en Provence and Marseille are all just over an hour’s drive. Italy is an easy day's outing and so are the picturesque islands just off the coast from Le Lavandou or Hyeres.
