Tourrettes, village of Var character, 200 meters from Fayence, is built on a rocky escarpment, 20 km from the sea. In an incredible maze of alleys, still ringing the footsteps of mules, old doors, rustic porches and old stones full of history and legends open a wonderful and magical world. Several art workshops to discover and a hundred works of painting and sculpture, are permanently exhibited in the village, like an open-air museum.
