A trompe l'oeil fresco

When you arrive in the village, you won't want to miss the trompe l'oeil fresco on the back of the church in the square. It's the most photographed spot in the village. Pleasantly shaded and animated by a few shops and cafés, it's the place where everything happens and where the village elders, seated and wearing caps, chat and watch the cars go by.

Narrow streets and vaulted passageways

Take a stroll through Belgentier and you'll discover narrow cobbled streets linked by covered and vaulted passageways. Old houses with doors framed by carved stone reveal the character of this small village.

A village full of charm

It's easy to see that the locals are keen to embellish their village: windows are generously decorated with flowers, shutters and facades are harmoniously colored. The whole of the old village is truly charming.

A village surrounded by nature

Around Belgentier, the hills protect and shelter the village from the cold winter winds, while keeping it cool in summer. It's no doubt thanks to these verdant “windbreaks” that Belgentier's cherries and figs have carried the village's reputation far beyond its borders and remain, along with olives, the village's main agricultural resource.

The Parc Peiresc for a stroll

Don't miss the Parc Peiresc for a lovely walk in the heart of nature. With its beautiful trees and winding Gapeau river, it's a place of calm and serenity. Belgentier residents love to stroll here, and it's easy to see why! A very pleasant park!

Trade: the olive-growing cooperative to fill up on good products

If you're a fan of fine Provencal produce, head for the Coopérative Oléicole. Discover the history of the Belgentier oil mill and stock up on olive oil, tapenade, anchoïade and other Provencal delicacies.
