The site has a rich historic past. You can happily stroll aound the narrow streets of Trets and you will come across beautiful ancient houses with picturesque window-frames.

Trets is surrounded by fortifications dating back to the 12th and 13th century and you will come across five gate-ways which are still standing including the Portail de Saint Jean to the south and the Portail de Pourrières to the west. You will also discover arched passage-ways typical of a medieval village, and in particular the curiously named "Trou de Madame Lion".

Do not miss the unfinished church tower of the 13th century ancient synagogue and the superbly imposing 12th century Notre Dame de Nazareth church (classified as an historic monument).

After this visit, the "place du 14 Juillet" bordered by plane trees is an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a cool drink from one of the pleasant cafés. Once refreshed, you can then set off to discover the countryside surrounding Trets...
