Photo of Ampus   Ampus is in a typical provençal setting: on top of a hill and surrounded by wooded hills and sunken gorges. In its mediaeval village the little streets are arranged concentrically around the ruins of the castle with its old 11th century gateway and its panoramic view. Nearby Ampus are the Gorges of the Ampus Nartuby and the Gorges du Verdon are not very far. Ampus, with its restaurants, its hotel, its gites and chambres d'hotes, knows how to make you feel welcome. There are a number of local shops in Ampus (e.g. a boulan-gerie, where bread is baked in a wood-fired oven). Draguignan, with all its amenities, is 15km away from Ampus.   Photo of Ampus
