Located just 15 kilometers from Nice, Tourrette-Levens is a true perched village that still preserves a tower from its original medieval castle.
For millennia, the rocky promontory proudly supporting Tourrette-Levens Castle has played a crucial role as a checkpoint on the famous salt route, inevitably connecting the port of Nice to the Piedmont region. Erected in the 12th century by Raymond Chabaud, this castle, adorned with six towers—three round and three square—was once one of the most magnificent structures in the region.
The old village of Tourrette-Levens, contemporaneous with the castle, also dates back to the 12th century. However, it is partially in ruins today, having been abandoned in the 19th century. At the majestic feet of the castle lies the present-day village of Tourrette-Levens, characterized by more recent constructions scattered across different districts like Revel, La Condamine, Camp Soubran, Le Plan d’Arriou, and Les Moulins. Together, they create a landscape where millennial history seamlessly intertwines with the contemporary evolution of this charming commune.
Tourrettes-Levens, nestled in the heart of the Provencal hills, presents a picturesque tableau where environment and history harmoniously converge. This preserved village captivates with its narrow cobbled streets, lined with stone houses boasting colorful facades. The architectural heritage, including a medieval church and castle, bears witness to the authentic charm of the region.
Start your day with a panoramic hike through picturesque trails winding through the lush green hills. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and discover the diversity of the local flora.

Tourrettes-Levens Castle
Perched at the edge of a rocky promontory and overlooking the village, the castle stands as a symbol of the commune’s medieval past. A rare surviving castle in the County of Nice, it provides visitors with a breathtaking panorama between the sea and mountains, just 12 km from Nice. It is believed to have been built on the site of an ancient temple as early as the 11th century. Reconstructed in the 12th century, six towers (only one remains today) transformed it into a formidable fortress.
