It's not called "Violet village" for nothing because for over a century this shy pretty flower has been grown in the village. Even today it's one of the main activities in the village. The flower is honoured each year in March with a flower festival, decorated floats and a flower battle.
Tourrettes sur Loup is a great historic village well worth a visit at any time to escape the hustle and bustle of the coast.
It was also used as a back drop in the film "To catch a thief " by Alfred Hitchcock with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. The famous car chase, filmed by helicopter, took place through Tourrettes.
