Tourrette-Levens is on the route of picturesque perched villages on the hills behind Nice, Cote d'Azur at 325m altitude. During July and August there is a cultural festival with free music, theatre and other shows up in the grounds of the 12th century chateau. There are two interesting permanent museums at Tourrette-Levens, both free entry. One tells us about the old tools that were used by the locals around these hills, the other contain a huge and spectacular buttefly and insect collection. There is also a temporary exhibition, especially organised for the tourist season. Tourrette-Levens is easy reach of Monaco, the beautiful coastline at Villefranche-sur-mer, St.Jean Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu-sur-Mer where there are also free shows during July and August. The Italian border and the pleasant town of Menton is about 30kms away. For a change of scenery (and temperature during the hot summer months) the lovely alpine resort of St.Martin de Vesubie is an easy hour's drive away.
