Tourtour is considered as one of the prettiest villages in France. Perched on a hilltop it overlooks a vast area of Provence, from Fréjus and the Mediterranean in the east to the mountains of Sainte Victoire in the west. Tourtour is a village full of charm and character with its eight fountains and its shady village square. The church St Denis and the two castles with their protective towers and the maze of little alleys and squares recall a mediaeval past. Tourtour is a village full of life despite its small population with a nice balance between a country way of life and open-minded hospitality. Frequent events are organized throughout the year. Not far from Tourtour (22km) is the large town of Draguignan with all its amenities.
