An authentic village in the Nice hinterland, less visited than its neighbour Peillon, with a tangle of vaulted lanes and covered passageways.

Its tiny squares and old fountains tell the story of a village that has changed little since the Middle Ages, without the coast's tourist crowds. The surrounding terraced slopes and olive groves are well suited to a quiet hike.

The right time

Access

Mountain road from Nice, about 30 minutes.

Quiet

Much less crowded than Peillon or Èze, ideal for strolling without the crowds.

Hiking

The GR51 trail passes through the village, heading toward Peillon or La Turbie.
