Hiking
It was the Norman invasions of the 9th and 10th centuries that pushed the inhabitants to take refuge on the heights, and in a well-hidden place in order to protect themselves from the Viking invaders. You can see and visit the many remains still standing, including the ramparts and the Saint-André-du-Roc church.
The contrast is striking, because when going up or down to visit this site of the ruins of Petra Castellana, one cannot miss the view of the current opulent village of Castellane.
