The Monument

In the 6th century B.C., the Roman Senate decided to have this trophy raised in the honour of Caesar’s nephew, Octavius Augustus, who had just overthrown the remaining Ligurian tribes. The trophy symbolised the power and unity of the Roman Empire, and stood at the key point of Alpis Summa on the border between the Gaul and Italy. The trophy originally was 49 meters high and supported a giant statue of the Emperor. It was restored par Jules Formigé in the 20th century.

The Monument

In 1692, the region was again invaded by the troops of Victor-Amédée II, Duke of Savoy. Vauban undertook the construction of a fortress that would resist the enemy’s advances and ensure the protection of the population. A large rock dominating the valleys of the Guil and the Durance rivers seemed the ideal site as it was both inaccessible and inhospitable. In 1693, work began on a new city and new fortifications. Construction and consolidation continued for almost a century.

The Abbey of Thoronet

The Abbey of Thoronet

Monument

The Thoronet abbey, a Cisterian monastery founded in 1146 by the Tourtour monks in a wild setting in the Var region, gathers its monastery buildings around a cloister which is protected by sturdy arcatures from the Romanesque period. Apart from the "palm tree" vault in the chapter house, the barrel vault predominates; its majestic volumes round out everywhere, from the church to the storeroom without forgetting the dormitory, which rose from the ruins brought about by the 18th century "improvements". The state purchased the abbey progressively from 1854 onwards and it recovered its original appearance thanks to important renovation works.
