Annot's old town sits above the modern part of the settlement on a slight rise, its narrow lanes and stone buildings offering the kind of photogenic medieval street scene that is common in Provence but feels genuinely lived-in here rather than curated for tourists. The 11th-century church, the covered market hall, and the old fountain are the anchors; the lanes between them reward slow wandering.
Look for the places where houses have been built directly against the Grès boulders — the smooth sandstone face forming an interior or exterior wall. This practical relationship between medieval builders and the geology around them gives the old town a character you won't find elsewhere. There are a couple of decent cafes on the main square where you can sit with a drink and watch the village go about its business.
