Simiane-la-Rotonde, classified as a village and town of character, is a sumptuous rampart towards the Albion plateau
As you stroll through its alleys you will go from one rich residence to another and admire doors, each more beautiful than the last.
Description
If it's hot, a refreshing break is a must under the 15th century covered market hall, where you can enjoy a splendid panorama of the lavender fields.
At the top of the village, the castle of the Simiane-Agoult family is crowned by the rotunda, both a watchtower participating in the village's defensive system and whose first floor houses a splendid Romanesque room decorated with 12 niches.
Since 1982, an international early music festival has been held there in August: Les Riches Heures Musicales de la Rotonde.
