Monfort sur Argens is a very old village
of Moyen Var. It is overlooked by the only Templar castle of Var and itself
overlooks the beautiful plains of Argens.
The old part is worth a detour :
while going up to the castle one can discover the ruins ot the ramparts,
and a portcullis of the eighteenth century.
While
wandering about in the vicinity, you can admire Ligure de Casteau- Rigneau,
the Priory of Speluques, Gallo-Roman ruins, the aqueduct of Pont des Mouo
and the waterfall of Grand Baou.
There is a definite charm in the old houses with their roofs of tiles
all nestled against the castle and separated by tiny streets. It is
nice to live here. The air of Monfort sur Argens is so pure that it
is recommended for children and all those who need rest and relaxation.
One last detail: this is the town ot Joseph- Louis Lambot, the inventor
of reinforced concrete. |
