BRIGNOLES

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 571 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRIGNOLES , a town in the department of Var in the S.E. of France, 36 m. by
rail
  N. of Toulon. Pop. (1906) 3639. It is built at a height of 754 ft. above the sea-level, in a fertile valley, and on the right bank of the Carami river. It contains the old summer palace of the
counts
  of
Provence
 , and has an active
trade
 , especially in prunes, known as prunes de Brignoles. Its old name was Villa Puerorum, as the children of the
counts
  of
Provence
  were often brought up here. It was sacked on several occasions during the religious wars in the 16th
century
 . Twelve miles to the N.W. is St Maximin (with a fine medieval
church
 ), which is one of the best starting-points for the most famous
pilgrimage
  resort in Provence, the Sainte Baume, wherein St
Mary
  Magdalene is said to have taken
refuge
 . This is 20 M. distant by road. (W. A. B. C.)
