Les-Arcs
Les Arcs (proper name Les-Arcs-sur-Argens) is found in Provence to the east of Frejus and Saint Raphael, heading in to the Cotes de Provence wine region.
It is its role within this wine region for which the town is best known, although even non-wine-lovers will enjoy a visit. The more recent town and area around the railway staion has little of interest to visitors, but make the effort because of the old part of the town, a little separate from the main town.
The old town at Les Arcs - known as Parage - is centred around the 13th century Chateau of Villeneuve - now a hotel and restaurant - and has a few ancient and pretty streets to explore and enjoy.
Particular sites of note as you wander the medieval streets include the 13th century castle donjon, the 17th century campanile, and the Church of Notre-Dame.
The other big attraction nearby is at the Abbey of Sainte-Roseline, a little way out of town. See the chapel at the abbey especially, for its ornate decoration, and for a less expected modern artwork - a mosaic by Marc Chagall (the celebrated russian artist who lived in the area).
