Between sea and mountain, 14 kilometres from beaches, is a place, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, where, a century ago, violets chose to grow. Still today the cultivation of this delicate flower constitutes one of the main activities and the extent of production earned the village its title "City of Violets". Settled on a rocky buttress, overhanging precipices, this medieval village, whose climate is ideal in all seasons, has reached us intact to this day.

A fortified site in the 11th century, with houses forming ramparts, Tourrettes possesses an original architectural richness linked around a half-moon central route. (source: www.tourrettessurloup.com/tourrettes/accueil/accueil_us...
