Ménerbes

The fortress village has a peculiar elongated shape that stretches out on a rocky promontory.

It is a charming and picturesque place and climbing its steep streets up to the old castle is rewarding for the beauty of the view.

Things to do

• Corkscrew Museum: this small museum describes the thousands of ways to uncork a good bottle of wine and allows a visit to the cellars with oak barrels followed by a wine tasting.
• For those who like snails, there is the Parc aux Escargots where more than 30,000 snails are bred, specialising in snail cuisine.
• At the Maison de la Truffe et du vin you can taste local wine and truffles.
