Tourtour

Tourtour's nickname, the village in the sky of Provence, comes from its hilltop of Beau Soleil, with views from the coast at Fréjus to the Montagne Sainte-Victoire. It grew up along the course of its spring water, which still feeds eight fountains, a wash house of 1778 and an oil mill that is still working. The Bastide de Tourtour hotel appeared in the film The Day of the Jackal.
