December 2017 Newsletter No 186 December 2017 Newsletter No 186 Barjols Treasure Hunt Somebody must have heard that the BAV was to hold a walking treasure hunt around Barjols! The forecast had been for a full day of rain but, although somewhat chilly, it turned out to be dry with some sunshine. 34 members and friends supported the event and thoroughly enjoyed the gentle stroll around the town discovering little known enclaves. The phrase to be heard after the walk was largely that ‘we must spend more time here’. There are around 27 fountains around the town, some of which have developed over the years into various shapes, and the ‘treasure hunt’ largely featured many of these, together with the general history of the town. The walk was finished off nicely with a very pleasant lunch at Hotel Pont D’Or. The winner of the ‘treasure hunt’ was a team comprising Tim Molyneaux, Katrina Donaldson and Peter and Monique Holdway, who won bottles of wine. Thank you to Kevin Bell, our departing Events Coordinator, and Maria Bell for arranging this interesting day out. MajorLooking taxto expand reforms your inportfolio? France. How do they affect you?

  • During Your Stay, You Can Visit Different Places in the Surrounds of Aiguines
    During your stay, you can visit different places in the surrounds of Aiguines: The Gorges du Verdon tour From Aiguines, drive down to the Sainte-Croix lake and Moustiers Sainte-Marie (faïence town). Just before arriving to Moustiers, drive towards La Palud-sur-Verdon on the Verdon right bank where you can appreciate Galetas panorama and Mayreste viewpoint. Once in La Palud, follow the route des Crêtes (D23), especially made-up to access easily the viewpoints on the Verdon and its cliffs (climbers’ paradise) . The road goes by the chalet de la Maline (Martel hike departure) and loops back to La Palud. Beware, the route des Crêtes is a one-way road. Then drive to Rougon where you can stop at the Point Sublime viewpoint, admire the entrance of Couloir Samson and perceive some vultures. Next, y ou follow the road via Castellane and Trigance, medieval village. You arrive then at the other side of the Verdon, the left bank: the Corniche Sublime towards Aiguines. All along the emerald green river, you will appreciate successive viewpoints: the Mescla (where Artuby river flows into the Verdon), the Artuby bridge, the Cavaliers cliffs, the Vaumal e cirque, the Col d'Illoire, before arriving in Aiguines. You will drive approximately 5 hours for this 100 kilometers road trip. The Valensole plateau Valensole is well-known for its huge lavender fields, mirrors of the blue sky of Pr ovence. Lavender offers bees’ excellent nectar. This latter is transformed into honey in numerous hives of bee-keepers of the surroundings. Situated 40 kilometers far from Aiguines.
