Monuments to visit Provence

Built between 1985 and 1990 on the plans of Bui Quien Quoc, the construction uses very favourably the glass and light, to create a very well ventilated, airy architecture. The spacious building has a very contemporary aspect, with its iron staircases shaped by large tubes. The construction was not obvious because it was an extension of high school, which had a large field, and that it was not necessary to disturb the courses. The building contrasts in this western quarter of the city with towers.

Situated in the location of Villa Alaudie, a former location of Allauch's residents, this th-century bourgeois mansion is based in the village of origin. A historic site resolutely looking forward, this residence today hosts cultural events throughout the summer, including the Summer. Classical music concerts, dance, theatre with a beautiful setting, which unfortunately only visits during this festival period… The rest of the year is Mr. Mayor of Allauch.

Located in the th district, on the edge of the north-west districts, this former mill became a marshalling yard and was abandoned. Yet she hid an elegant structure, which is attributed to Gustave Eiffel. Supported by beautifully restored metal structures, this iron and glass structure retains its late th century character from pre-industrial times. In Marseilles, in the 80 s, a large campaign for the rehabilitation of former reporting buildings began. The Alexandre Station has benefited, such as the Auction, the Docks, La Wasteland Belle de Mai, the Silo Silo, etc. A safeguard in clean sites that continues with the positive will of the founder Sylvie Caulet, who is now upset by the bad image that the north quarters inspire. But Station Alexandre is also the world of outsourced culture, the business district nearby, trade, restoration, after work, etc. Enjoy contemporary facilities, this multi-tiered activity cluster welcomes employees of the company, management but also all curious visitors, small or large committees in restaurants (Bistrot Alexandre Il Barocco) or the bar bar (L'elf Café). All three have a classic homely soul, a modern post-modern charm, which often affects guests.

This unusual sculpture in downtown Toulon is a life-size reproduction of the prow of the frigate La Flore, a royal ship of the ^18th century. The original figure, which represents Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is on display at the Musée National de la Marine. Leaning against a wall, where a mast and a sail are painted, this monumental work is more than 10 meters high. It will pleasantly surprise you when you arrive on the small Vatel square, lost in the middle of the pedestrian streets of Toulon, between the Vezzani street and the Capucins passage.

The Roche-la-Croix site is a set of stone masonry (th century) and reinforced concrete (th century) which bears witness to a race without a hitch. Integrated into the Maginot system of defence of the Alps, it represented a real lock on access to Larche's Col.

Standing in the middle of the field, these four superb columns in grey monolithic granite, ending in white marble Corinthian capitals and surmounted by a sculpted architrave, are the remains of a temple probably erected to the glory of Apollo, probably at the very end of the 1st century BC. A majestic testimony to the city founded by the Emperor Augustus, which was called civitas Julia Augusta Reiorum Apollinaris. A signpost recalls their origins and shows what the ancient temple was, where the columns at its entrance were located.
