“We are not a place people just pass through. We are the house at the end of the square — the one with the green door, where you end up staying longer than you planned.”
The house
You come up for the view. You come back for the food.
La Farigoulette sits on Place des Ormeaux, in the heart of Tourtour, a hilltop village in the Haut-Var listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. The Simon family has run the house since 2014.
It is the village restaurant, bar and tobacconist, open from the first coffee at 6.30 am until dinner under the string lights. Stay for a meal, or simply stop by for a drink.

The terrace
A terrace looking out over the Haut-Var
A reed canopy stretched over iron arches, a fig tree for shade, string lights from post to post. Beyond, the hills roll south until they fade into the haze. A second terrace spreads across the square, in the shade of the olive trees.
The village
Tourtour, the village in the sky
Stone lanes, fountains, olive trees in the middle of the square. Perched at around 635 metres and listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, Tourtour is best explored on foot — and best finished at the table.
About 20 km from Draguignan, 10 km from Aups and 7 km from Villecroze, it makes a natural stop on a day out in the Haut-Var.
