Visit Flayosc (Provence, France)

Flayosc stands on a small hill surrounded by vineyards, oak forests and olive trees roughly halfway between the scenic splendours of the Gorges du Verdon and the popular Cote d'Azur - hence well placed to explore the region, while avoiding some of the congestion of these popular regions. The viillage itself is situated between Draguignan and Lorgues (each round seven km distant).

It is a pretty medieval village and less touristic than many in the region.

Visit the 11th century church, its belltower featuring an attractive wrought iron campanile. from where the views across the vineyards are very attractive and stretch as far as the massif de l'esterel far to the south.

There are also several fountains that you will come across as you explore Flayosc...
