The name of Ramatuelle is unrelated
to any known place name.
The two theories
previously put forward as to its origin are
now contested by historians:
Rahmatu’llah:Meaning“DivineProvidence”
in Arabic, resulting from the Saracen
occupation in the 10th century.
Camatullici : A Celto-Ligurian tribe
lived on the banks of the Gapeau River
at the time of the Roman conquest.
After being driven away,
the tribe initially took refuge in the forests
and mountains overlooking
the Bay of Saint-Tropez, then founded
the so-called “Region of Camatullici”
on the site of the current village
of Ramatuelle.

to have replaced the “C” to give
“Ramatullucci”,
then Ramatuelle!
But the mystery remains.
