The apartment is located one mile inland at the mouth of the River Argens on a site which was chosen by Julius Caesar in 49 B.C. as his first naval base in France. This rich Roman heritage is evident throughout the town which proudly conserves the remains of the large Aqueduct, the Theatre and the Arena which today presents more modern entertainments, e.g. Bullfights, Concerts and other spectacles.
The focal point of the town is the historic Cathedral square with its famous mosaic domed Gothic Cathedral, housing a 12th century octagonal Baptistry and picturesque 12th century Cloisters. This pedestrianised square, with its charming Micocoulier trees and outdoor restaurants, plays host to a lively market of fresh produce and local crafts twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
Our holiday apartment overlooks this fine square in a converted townhouse which, though modernised to a high standard, retains many of the original features of Provencal town living. Access to the flat is via a main door and leading off a steep quarry-tiled staircase which serves the building.
Apartment Information
