As with many smaller villages off the beaten track and closer to the coast, the village of Fox-Amphoux lives a quiet life. The old church tower behind the town square offers a magnificent 360-degree view of the valley and the surrounding countryside.
Notable residents
Paul Barras, president of the Directory and a major figure of the French Revolution, was born in Fox-Amphoux in 1755. Another notable resident was the artist René Lacroix (originally from Nice) who had a gallery in the far end of the village. He exhibited works both in France and abroad; Lacroix's works are in private collections around the world.
