at the gateway to Haute Provence and the hills of Var, near the Verdon gorges and the Lake of St. Croix , this peaceful village, set on a limestone cliff , is an inviting stop for visitors..
A refreshing place with 42 fountains and lavoirs and four rivers, Barjols' architecture and life have been determined for centuries by the omnipresence of water.
