So much to see. First you drive into a small square where there is lots of parking. Then wander over to Information to get your map, then do the loop. Most of the artist and artisan shops are on Grand Rue which starts and ends on the Square. My heading is 'made by hand' because the purses, jewelry, wooden bowls, pottery and paintings etc. which you will find are just that. Check out Atout Cuirass, La Bergerie, Atalier Esperanza and many more fine shops and studios. I loved the sculptures at Art et Creation Sagasta. You will need your camera as there are lots of photo ops along the wee street.

Above the interesting township of Vence,resides Tourrettes -Sur- loup,a genuine mediaval hilltop town.Catch the "400"bus from Canes -sur-mer to Vence then transfer to the "500" for the scenic tour up to the village.There are turrents and many buildings seem suspended mid air. Its an exciting walk that circles the hilltop,into town. A tree lined square opens up to artisan shops and a host of restaurants offering good tucker. We choose the pub opposite the bus stop and enjoy a succulent rabbit and beer. Exploring is what this town is famous for. The town hall has art galleries and the winding alleys house a variety of artisan dens worthy of tourist dollars.There are superb views that sweep across the var to Nice and the sea. Visit the flower museum and consider spending a short holiday stay in summer or spring. Wheelchair access not easy.Charming part of the world

I went on this tour with my wife during our recent holiday to the South of France and I would thoroughly recommend it. It was very well put together, informative, fun and a great way to learn about the region.

A lovely medieval, cobblestone lined village. Smaller than St. Paul de Vence, easier to get around. We were
Fortunate to be able to spend 2 weeks here...driving to the lavender fields around Valensole, and to Antibes to
The sandy beach and parasailing and paddle boarding. A good central base. We had a 180 degree view towards
The Med. Fabulous!

I have already written a review on this medieval village, a must visit , lovely artisan shops, artisan ice cream, you are in the area of violetes. Lovely people and the terrace is the most spectacular. Only the parking is the problem.

It’s really nice visiting time there on June 25 early morning. It’s located at cool hillside area. Also very green environment there. Some cafe,bakery, restaurants and shops started opening at that morning. Everybody there were very friendly with smiles and greeting Bonjour when we met. It’s really peaceful place for tourists.

Made a stop while traveling thru the area. Enjoyed walking about the medieval village and looking into the shops and down the narrow side passages. Chateau Villeneuve was mildly interesting. Off the main square there are a number of small places for lunch the one we choose was rather good.

We stopped by the village to walk around have a cafe. It was a wonderful town, full of artwork that would appeal to anyone. The shops all had something unique to offer, from beautiful wooden bowls, to a jewelry store where everything was handmade by the artist in leather or silver. There were many art galleries with sculptures and paintings. Just walking around the village was like stepping back in time. You could easily spend days just wondering around and talking it all in.

This is a small French Village where people still live and commute to the neighboring cities.There are beautiful shops on top of the mountains, winding cobblestone paths, beautiful shops, scenic views, and outside restaurants.
Gourdon to Tourrettes is a short mountain drive with breathtaking views. Look for a small restaurant by the waterfalls and stop to see the amazing view.
