This is a village with hidden treasures that will only be revealed to you if you step through one of the arched entrances at either end of the square. During the 1950s Tourrettes-sur-Loup went through a time of great creative growth, attracting musicians, artists, writers, poets and filmmakers. Today, the village boasts more than 30 artists’ galleries and artisans’ workshops, making it an artistic and cultural landmark on the Côte d’Azur.

Whatever the time of year, you will be tempted to stroll around the quaint cobbled streets and impressive stone ramparts. As you wander, you will discover traces of the artists of yesteryear who left their mark here and also the artists of today, who continue to make their living in St Paul.
