The\u00a0Domaine des Courmettes<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Domaine des Courmettes is a private property of 600 hectares, open to the public and situated in the commune of Tourrettes-sur-Loup in the Alpes-Maritimes. With the Pic de Courmettes rising to 1248 m, the site commands the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur and provides outstanding views of the Mediterranean and the Mercantour massif.<\/p>\n

The estate, a Natura 2000 site, is part of the Parc Naturel R\u00e9gional des Pr\u00e9alpes d\u2019Azur. Managed as a nature reserve, it offers superb walking in an unspoilt environment. The centre\u2019s attractive buildings<\/a> at 850 m form part of the setting for visits.<\/p>\n

Owned by the Amiral de Coligny Association, the estate has a very rich history. A Rocha has been responsible for the management of the site since 2008.<\/p>\n

Les Courmettes appeared in the television program “Pr\u00e9sence protestante”\u00a0on France 2, one of the main national broadcasters, on 15th November 2015. Watch the clip here<\/a> (in French)<\/p>\n

A Rocha is an international Christian nature conservation organisation.\u00a0The first centre was set up in Portugal in 1983, hence the name which means \u2018the rock\u2019 in Portuguese. A Rocha now has a presence in 20\u00a0countries on five continents where it undertakes scientific studies, practical environmental conservation work and education activities.<\/p>\n

In France A Rocha was first established in the Baux valley near Arles, at Mas des Tourades (2001). From October 2020, Mas Mireille<\/a> has become the base for the environmental study team. In partnership with the Parc Regional des Alpilles, a scientific team studies the biodiversity of the Baux marshes, including monitoring the European Roller, and encouraging sustainable management of the wetlands.<\/p>\n
