Le Plan-de-la-Tour · LE GOLFE / DISCOVER
Above the lanes, Saint-Martin’s bell tower gives Le Plan-de-la-Tour a familiar landmark. The present church dates from 1785 and connects the village landscape with its history. Make it a stop on a village stroll, distinguishing exterior views from spaces actually open on the day.
THE LE GOLFE VIEW
“LOOK UP. THE VILLAGE HAS A STORY.”
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
01
The tourist description dates the present building to 1785, replacing a chapel that had become too small. It uses local granite. Our advice: begin by looking at its proportions and materials from the square.
02
The bell tower shapes the village skyline. The tourist office mentions a clock installed around 1880 and a mechanism displayed near the church entrance. Access depends on opening arrangements; this page does not promise a climb up the tower.
03
The church is in the Place Clemenceau area. The map marker corresponds to the building recorded in OpenStreetMap. Ask the parish or tourist office about access on your date and respect services and any restrictions.
BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK
Combine the church with the lanes, squares and, on Thursday mornings, the Provençal market. The exterior gives a short visit a useful focus. Do not build your day around access to the tower without prior confirmation.

A village set back from the coast, surrounded by wooded hills and hamlets — close enough to the Golfe, far enough from its noise.
