Tourrette
Levens is a village surrounded by hills located in extremely beautiful mountainous
countryside in the Nice hinterland.
The medieval village was abandoned in the middle of the 19°th century
and today is in ruins, looking over the present day village of Tourrette
Levens.
Recent buildings are spread amongst the different neighborhoods
of the commune : Revel, La Condamine, Camp Soubran, Le Plan d'Arriou and
Les Moulins.
It makes for a green environment with houses dotted here and there, whereas
in the village itself beautiful older houses are grouped around small
squares and narrow streets, full of charm.
Don't
leave Tourrette Levens without visiting the restored château which today
hosts a butterfly museum (unique in the area) as well as a cultural center.which
organizes many interesting cultural events. |
