This village in Var is thus named due to the presence of two châteaux: one overlooking the village and the other on the Nartuby riverbank. In an unspoilt, green setting above the Nartuby Gorges, Châteaudouble still has a medieval look about it. The cobbled streets, vaulted passages, 18th-century dwellings, washhouses and chapels help to preserve this authentic atmosphere. And if you look closely at the houses, you will be able to see their sculpted pediments, a mark of the Templars. Built in the 16th century then extended in the 17th, the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation contains lavish furnishings including three altarpieces and listed baptismal fonts. But the attractions of the village don't stop there: to enjoy a magnificent view of the gorges, head for Place Beausoleil at the top of the village!
A listed site, the Nartuby Gorges not only offer beautiful walks in the heart of nature, but are also a favourite playground for climbers, with more than 400 climbing routes at their disposal. During your outing, remember to look up at the sky: you might see a golden eagle.
