In the heart of Provence, Les Tournelles is inspired by the ancient stone buildings that dot the landscape, symbols of stability and transmission down the centuries. These little towers, called tournelles, were once refuges, places where people took the time to contemplate the surrounding nature, to anchor themselves in the present moment.
