| Roquebrune-sur-Argens is an unspoilt and charming Provencal medieval village, founded in 975 A.C. at the top of a rock and on the right bank of the Argens river. Unfortunately, the village was almost destroyed in1592 during the religious wars, only an old tower is left. From here, there are fantastic panoramic views over the Argens plain to the north, with low mountains on the horizon. | |
