Known as one of the "most beautiful villages in France," Gourdon has developed around its medieval castle, whose distinctive towers are visible from afar. The original fortress was built in the 9th century and rebuilt on the same foundations in the 12th century. Further additions followed in the 17th century. The three round towers date back to the time of the Counts of Provence. Another unique feature is the troglodytic fortress, accessible from the Plateau de Cavillore.

Very pleasant summer and winter.

Fort Carré... is a historic military fortification located in Antibes. It is an iconic monument in the region, known for its star-shaped architecture and its strategic location offering panoramic views of the coast and the Mediterranean Sea. Here are some key facts about Fort Carré: * History: It was built in the mid-16th century by order of King Henry II of France. At that time, Antibes was an important border town with the County of Nice (then part of the Duchy of Savoy). The fort served to defend the city and monitor this border. It was later improved by the famous military engineer Vauban in the late 17th century. The fort remained a strategic site until the 19th century, when Nice was annexed to France and the border was extended. It was decommissioned from military use in 1860. * Architecture: The fort is characterized by its star-shaped shape with four bastions (called Bastion Nice, Bastion Corsica, Bastion Antibes, and Bastion France). Its patrol path rises 43 meters above sea level, offering a 360-degree view. * Protected Natural Site: Fort Carré is located on the Saint-Roch peninsula and is surrounded by a 4-hectare preserved natural area, classified as a Natura 2000 site and a ZNIEFF (Natural Zone of Ecological, Faunistic, and Floristic Interest). This site is owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Protection Agency). * Visits: The fort has been open to the public since 1998 and offers guided tours (strongly recommended, or even mandatory depending on the season) that allow visitors to explore the ramparts, towers, and barracks. Information on the fort's history and strategic importance is provided. Children's game booklets are also available. *Fun fact: Fort Carré served as the setting for the James Bond film "Never Say Never Again" (1983). In short, Fort Carré in Antibes is a fascinating historical site that offers insight into the region's military history, all in a magnificent natural setting with breathtaking views.
