Cadenet
The plain of the Durance and the Abbey of Silvacane are reached via Cadenet, which is dominated by the ruins of an 11th C. castle.
In Cadenat stands the statue of the "Drummer of Arcole". According to legend this 19-year-old boy, who was a soldier in Napoleon's army, swam the river during the battle and beat his drum so loudly that the Austrians, thinking they were surrounded, surrendered. In the 14th C. church a Roman sarcophagus serves as the font.
