Gassin

Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France

·

After the Saracens were driven out, people moved up from the unsafe shore and built Gassin on a rocky spur some 200 metres above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. For centuries it lived from olives, wheat and vines; its ramparts survive, and its lanes include L'Androuno, said to be one of the narrowest streets in the world.

Highlights

  • L'Androuno, one of the world's narrowest streets
  • The ramparts and views over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
  • The chapel of Notre-Dame de la Compassion
  • The Paillas windmills on the commune's highest ground
  • Vineyard visits and wine tourism in the surrounding estates
