| Rue
Obscure is the oldest street in Villefranche, built
on virgin land in the 13th century. The town was
built up the slope in tiers, starting from here.
The street’s fortified gate and ramparts on
the sea protected its storehouses and reserves as
well as the people seeking refuge in town from outside
attack. |
|
Here,
too, ships’ captains, when forced by a gale
to anchor in the Bay, could undertake the necessary
repairs without fear of aggression. The cellars
in Rue Obscure stored such precious merchandise
as wine.
In these cellars where the
production of the first vintners were aged, you
are invited to discover a range of wines from France’s
different regions. |
