Entrecasteaux
Nestled in the verdant valley of the Bresque River and surrounded by wooded hills, the typical Provençal village of Entrecasteaux has retained all the charm of its origins dating back to the 11th century. It was built in the 16th century on the ruins of an 11th-century fortress and then remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, it is perfectly restored and maintained to preserve its period appearance.
History
History buffs will be delighted by the many vestiges of the past. The most important is obviously the Château, in the center of the village. The entire village site is classified, with its old houses and its fortified church of St Sauveur. With its old cobbled streets, the village has retained its medieval appearance.
The village prospered thanks to agriculture and local trade.
