In Entrecasteaux, this old stone bridge spans the Bresque, a tributary of the Argens.
Today the river was very calm, even relaxing, but that wasn't always the case. For example, a violent flood of the Bresque in 1702 led to the destruction of the bridge, which had to be rebuilt in 1725. The bridge also leads to the wash house of Saint-Pierre.

Saint-Sauveur Church

Highlight • Other

The parish church of Entrecasteaux, dedicated to Saint Salvator, already existed at the beginning of the 11th century when the place is first documented in 1012. The current church would therefore be the second, built in the 13th century in Romanesque style. It was subsequently rebuilt several times, especially in the 17th century, when a new nave was built on the north side and the bell tower was added.

Jardin Le Notre

Highlight • Other

Jardin Le Nôtre at Entrecasteaux The mirror of the castle, the French-style garden attributed to André Le Nôtre, Louis XIV's gardener at Versailles, is owned by the municipality. It reproduces the architectural classicism of the royal gardens with its pruned boxwood paths around the basin decorated with an armillary sphere and their elegance with its 17th century wrought iron gate and its horseshoe stone staircase. It is framed by two tricentennial magnolias and dominated by the statue of Admiral Bruny, the illustrious navigator.
