Entrevaux
Entrevaux is to the south-east of the Alpes de Haute Provence department, a few kilometres east of Annot.
A medieval village, Entrevaux is very picturesque, in an attractive setting surrounded by a bend in the river, and surrounded by the provencal mountains.
The town is entered by way of a narrow ancient bridge and through a gate in the fortified walls, and has its full quota of winding streets lined by ancient houses to explore. Many of the houses have interesting features - be sure to amble up the narrow side streets to get a real feel for the village.
Entrevaux cathedral is at the end of the town.
It is above all, the 11th century citadelle at Entrevaux that is the big attraction. High on a rocky outcrop above the village, the citadelle (fortified by Vauban) is reached by a steep (and hot!) path that climbs up the edge of the rock. The views back down to the village from the citadel make the climb worthwhile!
To see more of the surrounding countryside take the 'Train des Pignes' - perhaps to nearby Annot. the village of Castellane is also nearby.
