Photo TidbitsTourrette sur Loup
By Jim and Emmy Humberd
For centuries, peasants built their villages perched like eagles' nests on hilltops, surrounding them with protective ramparts. There are several villages in the Loup River valley, a few miles above the Côte d'Azur (Sky-Blue Coast, or French Riviera), perhaps the most exceptional is Tourrette sur Loup, a fortified village with the outer houses forming the ramparts.
We try to stop for breakfast or lunch, with a fabulous view out our dining window. The view of Tourrette sur Loup across the narrow gorge, is as fabulous as any.
