Further information
Minerve is a true gem nestled in Southern France landscapes ! Your guide will allow you to see further, to observe its architecture and geology. The fascinating history of Minerve will not let you untouched.
The classical 1h tour includes:
- the village and its pretty stone houses
- the ruins of the castle and its "candela"

- the replica of the ancient trebuchet named "Malvoisine"
The Sporty 1h30 Tour adds amazing extras to the contents of the classical Tour. It includes:
- EITHER: a walk down the canyon to Saint Rustique well and a short hike up to see the trebuchet and have a stunning view over the village.
- OR: a walk down the canyon, under the village (yes!), along the river banks, and through the largest "natural bridge-tunnel" (not possible in the winter when water level is too high).
You can select the guide you believe will suit you most, and organize your Minerve Tour together.
