  • Came here after a trip to Saint Paul de Vence. There were far fewer tourists, and it was just as nice.

  • Nice panoramic old town. You can reach the top with the free bus 44.
  • What an unexpected find, a gem of a place, we came off the 500 Zou bus from Grasse en-route to Nice at Square Bourdet, hopped on the free #44 bus which whizzed us up to the top then walked back down, so pretty, charming, romantic and so typically Fench :)
  • It is a great place to walk around. A lot of tiny streets, and homes. You can spend a good part of your day walking around. Near the church you have a lookout to see the ocean, and the city.
  • lovely place..
  • Beautiful village 30 minutes from Nice, worth a visit, its alleys and well-kept houses in the style of the era take you back in time; it is nice to go up to the Castle square which once belonged to the Grimaldis and enjoy the view over the Alps and Provence; I recommend to leave the car at the cemetery parking (free) and follow the indicated path that with a staircase will take you to the entrance door of the village in a few minutes.
