Tourette-du-Château

Tourette-du-Château is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes at about 900 meters elevation, where mountain ridges and valleys alternate. The place consists of several houses arranged around the village center showing typical southern French architecture.

The settlement developed in a remote mountain region where people chose a defensive location. The place name refers to an earlier fortification, reflecting strategic interest in this spot.

The village shows local traditions through its stone houses and narrow lanes that still shape how residents live together today. This layout reflects the rural way of life rooted in the region for generations.

The place is reachable by mountain roads from Nice and offers limited accommodation options in the village and nearby communes. The drive takes considerable time and requires a reliable car or alternatively patience when planning your route.

The village sits at the border between two regional identities and blends Provencal and alpine influences in a direct way. This mixture of both worlds makes the character of the place clearly felt by visitors.
