Origin and history

La Tour des Calvys is a monument located in the commune of Cannet in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The available sources do not specify its exact architectural type or its original function, but its name suggests a possible defensive vocation or watch, frequent for this type of building in the region. In the general historical context of Provence, such towers were often linked to the monitoring of territories or the protection of local populations.

Their construction reflected the strategic needs of communities, particularly in areas exposed to conflict or incursions. The Calvy Tower could be part of this tradition, although current data do not confirm it.
