Tourrettes-Sur-Loup
Location: Just over 1 hour from the house (follow A8 the take right at Cagnes-Sur-Mer)
Perched on a rocky spur, dominating the Côte d’Azur, Tourrettes-sur-Loup is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in the Moyen-Pays. It boasts an ideal geographical situation between sea and mountain.
Fortified around its fifteenth century château, the medieval town boasts an original wealth of architecture constructed in a semi circle around its Grand’rue. A secret village, it only reveals its secrets after you pass the fortified doors located on each side of the square.
Tourrettes was the scene, in the 50s, to an outburst of creation, thanks to the coming together of musicians, painters, writers and poets who stayed there. Artisans moved there, and today over thirty studios and galleries make the village a key centre for arts and crafts on the Côte d’Azur. Exceptional vies and land will delight lovers of authenticity and simple, natural and artistic activities…it’s a good place to stay!
