Entrevaux

A revolt made Entrevaux a royal town: in 1536 its people rose against an occupying governor and handed the town to the French king, who freed them from taxes. The walled town fills a rocky spur in a bend of the Var, entered by a fortified bridge, the Porte Royale. A zigzag path, fortified after Vauban's plans, climbs to the citadel high above.
