IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La vila d'Entrevaus (Entrevaux en francès), a la Provença, és una petita joia ... fortificada. En efecte, situada en un punt estrategic a la vall del riu Var, just on aquest s'estreny entre dos cingles. Té origen medieval, i les seves muralles foren modernitzades per Vauban al s. XVII. Dalt de la població es troba la ciutadella, a la que es puja per un inclinat camí protegit per fins a 17 portes!

The mighty Entrevaus (Entrevaux in French), in Provence, is a beautifully fortified town. Indeed, located at a strategic point in the valley of the Var river, right where it narrows between two cliffs. It has medieval origins, and its walls were modernized by Vauban in the XVII Century. Above the town is the citadel, which only can be reached by a sloping path protected by up to 17 gates!
