Puget sur Argens - Statue


This ancient fortified city is situated in the lower valley of the Argens, in the plains of an old estuary. At a stategic point between the Haut Var and the Maritime Alps. Puget sur Argens wants to be recognized as a refuge from the summer hoards.

The medieval village has narrow streets, old homes, and squares complete with fountains. The Porte Beffroi in the ancient ramparts is erowned by a lovely campanile of 1775. The little Gothic church St. Jacques le Majeur, and the Romanesque chapel Ste. Philomene are also worth the visit.
