Tourrettes, Var

Tourrettes is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Tourrettes is one of a series of "perched villages" overlooking the plain between the southern Alps and the Esterel massif, which borders the sea between Cannes and Saint-Raphaël. Tourrettes is a charming old Provençal village popular with tourists. The village is located on the road to Mons, which later on joins the Route Napoléon (linking Nice to Grenoble through the Alps).

In the recent years a high-standing golf resort has settled in Tourrettes : the Domaine de Terre Blanche attracting a foreign clientele.

The aerodrome of Fayence-Tourrettes was one of the most active in Europe.
