The Mont of Roquebrune is a red mountain situated just minutes from our villa and art studio in the Var department in France. It is classified by France as National Interest and peaks at 373 metres. Le Rocher de Roquebrune is formerly known as the Rock of the Three Crosses because it was a place where pilgrims came to gather in the Middle Ages. The crosses are still up on the mount and have become a tourist attraction.
