Sweetness of lifeof a City of character
A medieval heart with a lacis of nicely paved alleys. And everywhere, the music of the water from the canals and fountains accompanies you. Old shops, engraved door lintels, corbelled houses, watchtowers and from time to time, a small square flooded with the sun or in the shade of the ramparts… Stroll in the ancient centre of this city of character with nonchalant elegance, it will reveal all its secrets.

The plates placed along the alleys tell you the history of the village. And for a fun visit with children, ask for the game booklet at the Tourist Office.
The chapel of Vers-la-Ville, in the heart of the sandstone
From its sandstone cocoon, the chapel of Vers-la-Ville opens onto the village. Along its access path, the cultivation terraces follow one another. Large blocks appear at every turn. And these houses leaning against the rock or directly built on a rock… amazing!
To extend the discovery, opt for the most emblematic of the hikes: the Grès d’Annot trail
Allow a 15-minute walk to reach the chapel.
