 Meounes is pleasantly situated
in green surroundings, in the midst of fields, cherry orchards and Provençal
hills.
Its livelihood comes mostly from tourism due to its nice environment
and relatively cool air.
10 fountains flow constantly
one of which is classified. Some of the things to discover are the Hotel
de Ville, built in the 1900's, and a 17th c, oil mill that has been transformed
into a restaurant.
There is also the church (1540) and its steeple with
a hexagonal cupola.
A
few kilometers from here, in a clearing in the middle of the forest,
is the abbey Chartreuse de Montrieux.
Monks have been living there since
the 12th century. |
