What are the must-see places?
The medieval village is the main attraction with its fortified houses forming ramparts. In the Grand' Rue, in the heart of the old village, nearly 30 workshops, art galleries, and creative artisans have gathered.
The Saint-Grégoire church, a 12th-century building renovated in 1551, giving it a “Roman-Renaissance” style, is well worth a visit. There you will find a 3rd-century stele dedicated to Mercury and a 15th-century triptych.
The Bastide aux Violettes presents the local history and culture of the Victoria violet. Much more than a museum, this living space is a real place to encounter the traditions of the past and the culture of the “Victoria” violet, cultivated in Tourrettes sur Loup since 1880.
Don't miss the Confiserie Florian in the Gorges du Loup to discover how violet candies are made. The panoramic views from the ramparts offer an exceptional view of the French Riviera.
