The four columns of a first century
temple probable dedicated to Apollo are witnesses to this great past.
They must not be overlooked and are the pride of Riez.
While strolling about the center ot
Riez you vcill find yourself in a medieval atmosphere. Looking at the
tiny streets and the tiny shops one can easily imagine what it was like
in those times. Today the little boutiques have been taken over by potters,
faience artisans, and sculptors, and perpetuate these traditional arts
and crafts to the pleasure of their visitors.
Riez is also an agricultural land which
offers its tasty seasonal products such as truffles, honey, lavander,
thym, and rosemary. In Riez you will find one of the best truffle dishes
of the region ("brouillade de truffes").
