Tips from the Community
The Templars' Castle in Richerenches is a special visit. Here, one can retrace the steps of the mythical Order of the Templars, who founded a unique commandery there. The Templars left a deep-rooted imprint on the land for 2 centuries before their departure; its architectural foundation is very beautiful, created by the Templars, a group of soldiers themselves inspired by the natural beauty of the territory. Inside, you can see tributes to the Order: It is a pleasure not to be missed if you pass through Rivesrenches, and it is the best-preserved commandery in Provence (a charming small village with a medieval style that attracts with its gastronomic truffles). A true historical crossroads and a lot of heritage to discover on site related to its past! Small village, great cultural richness.

Unique, a simply magnificent view not to be missed when passing through the town! The view of the Tour de Chamaret from this route suggests a visit to the tower. Many events take place within the colossal walls of this feudal fortress; once a keep, today the lively heart of its town... The perfect little addition to this route, made entirely for History lovers.

Beautiful view of the castle. The place is especially worth a visit on Tuesday mornings, as it's market day. But there are also numerous different rose varieties on every corner, attractive buildings, and a wide variety of restaurants.

Nice little town with castle ruins. Worth a quick stop.

This otherwise inconspicuous place is dominated by a Templar castle, which can be visited as a museum. There's a cafe/bar nearby for a break.
