This is what writer Jean Giono wrote about Sainte-Tulle : "For me, this village with its hill-side intact, is the most wonderful instrument of happiness in the world."

The hill is still there today and you can discover for yourself the happiness that Giono spoke about...and that's not all because Sainte-Tulle is an ancient Gallo-Roman site with an interesting historic past.

You can discover some relics from the Roman era, the middle ages and the 16th and 17th century.

Ste Tulle was well known in the 19th century for its scientific research into silk farming. It then developed into an electricity centre with the opening of the "EDF" power plants in 1919 and 1921. Today these control 18 hydro-electric sites on the Durance and Verdon rivers.

This has not prevented Sainte-Tulle from preserving its charm with small village squares, communal washing areas and picturesque streets where you can happily stroll for hours.
