Hilltop Villages

The Alps take their rise in the Nice hinterland. The most remarkable perched villages from West to East are: Gourdon, Tourrettes-sur-Loup and Eze.

The village is perched on the rock 760 meters up to sea, above the Vallée du Loup. Only 10 km far from the Mediterranean Sea, it offers a unique panorama on the French Riviera from Nice to Théoule, more than 80km.

A medieval village nicknamed the City of Violets. Twenty workshops and craftmen's shops open their doors to you.

Built at the top of a cliff, overlooking Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the village of Eze offers many hidden treasures. Arrived at the top, you will see the Exotic Garden with hundreds of succulents and cacti.
