Tourrettes-sur-Loup is a village in the Alpes-Maritimes, built on high ground between the Nice hinterland and the Mediterranean. Its old lanes, vaulted passages and houses clustered around the centre give the village a distinct Provençal character. Violets, cultivated in the region, are part of its identity; the Bastide aux Violettes tells the story of this tradition. The village suits travellers who want to alternate walks through an old setting with excursions to the coast or the hills of the hinterland.

The Tourrettes-sur-Loup market brings the village to life, while Saint-Grégoire Church and Château-Mairie are among the landmarks in the centre. The Bastide aux Violettes offers an insight into local flower cultivation. Nearby, the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence displays an important collection of modern and contemporary art. Grasse has museums devoted to perfumery, including the Musée International de la Parfumerie. A car makes it easier to reach the coast or neighbouring towns; Cagnes-sur-Mer railway station serves the area.

Spring is a pleasant time to explore the lanes and enjoy the flower-filled scenery; the violet festival is traditionally held in March. In summer, the days are suited to morning visits to the village before heading to the coast or seeking cooler temperatures in the hills. A day can combine the market, a walk through the historic centre and an art visit in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. In autumn, temperatures often remain suitable for walks in the hinterland.
