French Riviera Tourism La Corniche d'Or - Esterel St-Raphaël to Cannes Sub UPL FR
Corniche d'Or Guided Tour
Travel in my language
Starting from the old port of Cannes or your accomodation we will travel to the neighboring area of Var, the gold corniche (corniche of Esterel) where you will discover the breath taking red rocks of the Esterel Mountains. These rocks out in the azure blue sky, majestically overlooks the Mediterranean, certainly better delve into his dark blue waters. The most spectacular part of the coast is the peak of Cape Roux where this magnificant red mountain descend into the sea from a height of 452 m. The steep slope of the continent continues in the waters where the depth quickly reaches over 1,000 meters!
In the foothills, the coastal road is nicknamed the Corniche d'Or because of the beautiful scenery. The rugged coastline is home to beaches and small coves. For the record, the tiny Golden Island has a funny tower built in the nineteenth century by an eccentric person who proclaimed himself king of the island. He inspired Hergé for the cover of an issue of a famous comic book Tintin!
La forteresse de Mornas (Vaucluse - France)
(EN) Built in XIth c. by the earl of Toulouse, is dominates the Rhone valley. Most of it has been destoyed and ruins of the chateau and fortress are currently being restored. Animated and period costume visits in the summer.
(F) La forteresse de Mornas, dans le département du Vaucluse, se dresse sur un éperon rocheux de la rive gauche du Rhône, dominant le village de Mornas établi à son pied et les environs.
L'occupation du site de la forteresse remonte au moins à l'époque romaine. Les vestiges d'un oppidum ont été découverts au sud-est de la forteresse, de même que plusieurs sites contemporains en contre-bas de la montagne.
Mornas est mentionné pour la première fois au ixe siècle (Rupea Morenata), et fut tour à tour propriété de l'abbaye d'Aniane3, de l'archevêché d'Arles puis des Comtes de Toulouse. Tandis qu'un village se développe au pied de la montagne, le site du castrum se fortifie en continuité avec l'oppidum romain. Ces premières fortifications étaient très probablement en bois..
La forteresse va alors être longuement disputée par les comtes de Toulouse et les archevêques d'Arles, en raison notamment de sa position stratégique. En 1209, pendant la Croisade contre les Albigeois, le comte Raymond V, accusé de sympathiser avec les hérétiques, est forcé de léguer plusieurs de ses places fortes, dont Mornas, à l'Église. Mornas repasse ainsi sous le giron de l'archevêque d'Arles, avant d'être reprise par le Comte de Toulouse jusqu'au Traité de Paris en 1229, selon lequel toutes les possessions comtales à l'Est du Rhône passent sous l'autorité du Roi de France, à l'exception du Comtat Venaissin, et de facto Mornas, qui appartient désormais au pape5. Ce dernier confie l'administration du Comté au Roi de France jusqu'en 1274, date à laquelle le pape Grégoire X reprend en main son administration. La forteresse est placée sous la tutelle des Chevaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. Ces derniers rétrocèdent la forteresse, coûteuse à entretenir, en 1305.
La place-forte jouera un rôle important de défense lors de la Guerre de Cent Ans, notamment contre les compagnies de routiers qui ravagent le pays à plusieurs reprise. Ces troubles cessent à la fin du xive siècle, marquant ainsi le début d'une période d'accalmie qui durera jusqu'à la deuxième moitié du xvie siècle et les Guerres de Religion.
Négligée par l'Église pendant tout ce temps, la forteresse, mal entretenue, tombe facilement entre les mains des troupes protestantes en 1562 dirigées par Montbrun, lieutenant du Baron des Adrets, qui fait précipiter les réfugiés et la garnison du haut de la falaise8. Dans les années qui suivent Mornas est alors successivement aux mains des catholiques et des huguenots.
Les troubles cessèrent à la fin du xvie siècle, et la forteresse, perdant son rôle défensif, tombe peu à peu dans l'oubli et l'abandon. À partir de 1977, sa restauration est entreprise sous l'impulsion de l'association des Amis de Mornas. La réhabilitation se poursuit encore aujourd'hui, et de nombreuses animations et reconstitutions sont proposées pendant la période estivale notamment.

JUST PERFECT
5 de 5
We've stayed at many villas around the coast of Spain, Italy and Greece over the last few years and this was the best by far. The villa really exceeded our expectations. The house is just beautiful, it's the kind of place you only see in magazines. The views are breathtaking. The sea is just some meters below the big balcony and there is even a stair that takes you directly to the sea. Really amazing. The house itself is very confortable for a familly or two (it is very spacious) and the decoration is excellent. Besides, the owner, Ana, is extremely efficient and kind. Finally, the villa has great facilities and is within walking distance of the beach and most amenities. Anyway, I strongly recommend this villa. We'll be definitely back.

SÉJOUR 2012
5 de 5
Maison correspondant bien a la description. Nous y avons passé des vacances familiales bercés par la mer quasi à portée de main et par la vue époustouflante. L'enchainement des pièces et des terrasses permet à chaque membre d'une grande famille de trouver sa place.
C'est une maison de charme et de famille. rien à voir avec une maison témoin sans âme. Elle était très propre à notre arrivée.
au programme : lecture, snorkelling, canoé, rafraichissement dans la petite piscine et parties endiablées de baby foot.
Un grand merci aussi aux propriétaires et spécialement à Ana pour son accueil et son aide pendant tout le séjour.

SÉJOUR IDYLLIQUE AVEC VUE SUR MER
5 de 5
La villa Bogani est un lieu de séjour des plus agréables en famille ou entre amis. La vue sur la mer depuis les nombreuses terrasses est superbe. La piscine et l'accès direct à la baignade en mer en bas d'un petit escalier ont été très appréciés. La villa est très bien équipée et très bien entretenue et la décoration raffinée. L'environnement est calme.

IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS IN MORAIRA
4 de 5
I have taken my family to Moraira approximately 10 times now staying in and around El Portet. We have always admired the villa from the small El Portet beach and this year we had the pleasure of staying in this front line, large and comfortable villa. The variety of rooms provided us with many options from family get togethers to quiet areas you could simply dissapear to and have a good read and enjoy the view!
This is a villa that you simply relax, BBQ and enjoy the views as it doesn't get much better than this (you simply can not get tired of the fantastic views from all the rooms and individual terraces)
Ana was keen to make our stay a pleasureable one and from arrival to depature she was very helpful and responded quickly to any queries we had.
If I could give this villa 4.5 starts I would.....
Thanks again Ana !
