Tourette - Auberge des Pins

Tourette is a perched village (or rather a small town) known as Toretta in medieval times. It was ruled by the Villeneuve de Tourrettes family from 1331 on. I could not find out, how the French neurologist George Gilles de la Tourette the namesake of Tourette syndrome is connected to this village.

The area, near the Côte da Azur, is perfect for family holidays in summer. The tourists will find many campgrounds and many lush "bungalow-style"-hotels with lawns, large trampolins and larger pools. In the case of the "Auberge des Pins" there is even a surprisingly good restaurant.
