Tourtour

History

A medieval village nicknamed "the village in the sky," Tourtour still bears the marks of its historical past. Classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France, Tourtour is a typical old Provençal village with its old stone houses, fountains, and flowery squares with beautiful panoramic views.

Every corner of the village has an authentic and typically Provençal charm. A breathtaking panorama is visible for nearly 100 kilometers thanks to the height of this village, which rises to an altitude of 630 meters.

This privileged setting and location naturally make it a popular tourist destination, with no shortage of good restaurants. It is very pleasant to have lunch or dinner there on the terrace of the village's large central square.
