Against the backdrop of the Provençal countryside

Perched at an altitude of 635 metres, Tourtour is rightly nicknamed ‘the village in the Provençal sky’. The stone houses topped with round tiles, the Place des Ormeaux with its eight fountains, the vaulted passageways and the sun-drenched alleyways... It has it all! The walls of the medieval castle and the 17th-century château tell the story of the village’s varied past...

Tourtour takes to the big screen

It’s probably the smallest film festival in the world! The “CourtsCourts” festival has been held every summer in Tourtour for the past ten years or so. The film screenings take place al fresco under the stars at the open-air theatre. For three evenings, the “village in the sky” welcomes film lovers for an evening of fun and excitement. Adult audience members vote for the “Audience Award”, whilst the younger ones vote for the “Prix des Pichoun”.
