Montauroux

Montauroux is a little picturesque town with a fantastic history.

The town is built around a fort which was badly damaged during the religious wars. There are precious historic relics evoking the past, such as the ruins of a Roman aqueduct, a medieval church and chapels and houses from the 17th and 18th century. The town also boasts of several very beautiful stone fountains. Montauroux was the scene of a battle between Henri VI and the duke of Savoie in 1592. Christian Dior was seduced by the charm of Montauroux and chose the town for his summer residence, Château de la Colle Noire.
