Guide to the Verdon by La Tour d’Enguerne

Staying at La Tour d'Enguerne means choosing an ideal location for exploring some of the most beautiful villages in the Verdon region. Just a few minutes from the guesthouse, Montmeyan and Quinson offer two complementary experiences: one transports you to the heart of medieval Provence, the other invites you to journey back in time to the origins of humankind. Between heritage, nature, and traditions, these two villages are essential stops for discovering the true authenticity of our region.

Montmeyan, the medieval soul of Provence

Perched on its rocky promontory, Montmeyan has dominated the landscapes of the Haut-Var region for centuries. A former fortified village, it has preserved the charm of its past through its cobbled streets, vaulted passageways, stone houses, and the remains of its ancient fortifications.

As you stroll through the village, you will discover, among other things, the Charlemagne Tower, the Notre-Dame-du-Plan church, and several viewpoints offering exceptional panoramas of the Provençal hills and the Lower Verdon Gorges. Every turn reveals a new perspective, making Montmeyan a veritable open-air museum.

The village is also proud of its traditions. Every year, the famous Onion Festival brings together locals and visitors to celebrate regional products and local craftsmanship, while the Saint-Léger festivities perpetuate Provençal history and customs.
