About Saint-Jean-Baptiste Châteaudouble

On 24 June, Châteaudouble celebrates its Saint-Jean-Baptiste patronal festival. In August, the village festival extends the season with great aïoli and pétanque tournament. Two traditional highlights in this perched Haut-Var village clinging above the Nartuby gorges.

Châteaudouble, perched village above the gorges

Châteaudouble is one of the Var's most spectacular villages: perched at 560 metres altitude on a rocky spur, it dominates the vertiginous gorges of the Nartuby.
