Esparron de Pallières

Pop.: 185 h. Surface : 3,004ha

The Department of Var


On route D561 which links Rians (7km.) to Varages (13 km.).

Situated between Rians and Varage in the west of Haut Var, Esparron de Pallieres is a little village dominated by a dungeon which seems to keep watch over the inhabitants.

It is hard to imagine that in this peaceful village historic battles took place, and in particular the battle of Esparron in 159l, between the Royalists and the troops of the Duke of Savoie.

The village hasn't changed, It is built up around the castle and has ancient streets and beautiful houses with lintels.

The private castle dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. It was restared in the 18th century.
