Tourtour


The village of Tourtour in the "Haut Var" is located on top odf a mountain, north of Salernes, Villecroze and Entrecasteaux. The view is superb, the neighboring hills breath-taking, and there are many excellent restaurants in town, such as Les Girandoles. Another restaurant, Les Chênes Verts, was located just outside of town, 2 kilometers down on the road to Villecroze -- a beautiful country road, winding its way down through the pine hills. This is a bit of a pricey choice, but it's certainly worth it. If you're there in season and really feeling like spending for a meal, you might want to try the special truffle menu, where every dish features the fabulous fungi. Without going to that, however, the lower priced menus have plenty to recommend them as well.
