Walking - TOURVES - Exploring the Village

A walk that alternates between narrow village streets and woodland trails, taking you on a journey back in time to discover the heritage of Tourves.

“For many tourists, Tourves’s fame is linked to its infamous traffic jams, from the time when the main holiday route ran through the village's high street. Tourves bears the marks of a rich past: from prehistory, through the Gallo-Roman and medieval periods, to the 18th century with the lordship of the Valbelle family, not to mention the bauxite and the mines which, along with viticulture, forged the local economy for nearly a century.” Rose-Marie Hermand, Deputy for Heritage.
