Trans-en-Provence


Trans-en-Provence
South of Draguignan you will find the little village, Trans-en-Provence, set on the banks of the turbulent Naturbi river with its many waterfalls. The pleasant location of Trans-en-Provence in the heart of Provence makes the village an ideal base for a holiday and for trips in the surrounding area with its charming villages, vineyards and olive groves, to the big canyons, Gorges du Verdon, or along the coast.

Trans-en-Provence is a pretty little village, although without major attractions.

Along the riverbanks you will find the old mills and a few industrial buildings. The town has some silk factories from the 18th century. At several places old humpback-bridges are still used to cross the river. The façade of Hôtel de Ville is beautifully restored in Louis XV style. Across the river from the lowest bridge you will find the old olive mill and the restaurant, the Vieux Moulin.

Just out of the town one can find a little curiosity, le puits aérien, which is well worth a visit.

The Belgium inventor and engineer, Achille Knapen, was convinced that it was possible to use the humidity of the air to produce more water for the region. In 1930 he built a 10 metres high and 15 metres wide cupola. The principle of the invention was that hot air in the daytime would fill the cupola and then at night time be transformed into condensed water. Unfortunately the invention did not pass its experimental state as Achille Knapen died, before having proved its efficiency.
