Peillon
After a 30-minute drive from Nice city center, our driver guide will accompany you to discover the medieval village of Peillon clinging to its rocky spur overlooking the valley and offering a magnificent view. You will walk the streets where nothing has changed since the last century, up to the top of the village and the church of the transfiguration, built in place of the old castle in the 12th century.
Chapelle des Penitents Blancs
Discover the Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Pains or Chapel of the White Penitents which houses magnificent frescoes by Giovanni Canavesio dating from the 15th century.
Peille
Perched at 630 meters above sea level, this once capital village of the county has kept its authenticity away from the bling bling of the Coast and its tourist crowd.
