The most beautiful view of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur cannot be admired from a private beach club in Saint-Tropez. It can be seen from the ancient stone walls scorched by the sun of a medieval village perched above the sea.<\/p>\n

Most people imagine the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur as a succession of glamorous seaside resorts. Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez certainly deserve their reputation. The blue water is beautiful, the marinas sparkle and the cafes don\u2019t close from morning until late at night\u2026<\/p>\n

But the real heart of the region is well above the coast.<\/p>\n

Spreading across the hills, dozens of medieval villages have stood for hundreds of years. The French call them \u201cperched villages,\u201d because they were built high on rocky hills to protect themselves. Today, they offer some of the most beautiful views in the region, as well as narrow stone alleys, historic churches, local restaurants, and a much quieter pace of life than the bustling coast.<\/p>\n

If you are planning a trip, this tourist guide to the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur presents seven escapades in the hills that will allow you to discover another facet of southern France. These are among the best places to visit on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur if you are looking for history, landscapes, and moments of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the coast.<\/p>\n

1. \u00c8ze: the Eagle\u2019s Nest<\/h2>\n

Situated at approximately 430 meters (1,400 feet) above the Mediterranean Sea, the village of \u00c8ze is one of the most famous perched villages on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. Its elevated position offers visitors breathtaking views of the coastline, earning it the nickname of \u201cEagle\u2019s Nest\u201d.<\/p>\n

The village is small enough to be explored on foot. Most of the streets are narrow and paved with stones. You will pass under old arcades, and you will pass by small artisan shops and discover quiet squares adorned with flowers.<\/p>\n

One of the main attractions is the Exotic Garden, built on the ruins of an old castle. From here, you can enjoy one of the most panoramic views of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. On clear days, the sea stretches out as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n

\u00c8ze is an excellent choice if you enjoy photography, history, or simply want to discover one of the region\u2019s most beautiful viewpoints. Visit it early in the morning or late in the afternoon if you prefer a quieter setting.<\/p>\n

2. Saint-Paul-de-Vence: the sanctuary of artists<\/h2>\n

Some villages inspire artists. Others seem to be works of art in themselves.<\/p>\n

Saint-Paul-de-Vence combines both of these aspects. This magnificent village is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in southern France. It has attracted artists for decades thanks to its peaceful atmosphere, magnificent landscapes, and carefully maintained buildings.<\/p>\n

\n

Marc Chagall<\/a> he lived here during the last years of his life, and his influence is still noticeable throughout the village. Today, you can find art galleries, workshops, sculptures, and exhibitions almost on every street corner.<\/p>\n

Walking around the village is an integral part of the experience. The cobbled streets, the stone houses, and the medieval walls have changed very little over the centuries.<\/p>\n

Don't miss taking a stroll along the ancient walls. They offer magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, including the vineyards, olive groves and hills in the distance.<\/p>\n

If you love art, history, and architecture, Saint-Paul-de-Vence is one of the most enriching medieval cities to visit in the south of France.<\/p>\n

3. Sainte-Agn\u00e8s: the highest seaside resort in Europe<\/h2>\n

Above Menton is a village about which many travelers have never heard of.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights is the Fort of the Ligne Maginot, built before the Second World War. Visitors can explore its underground tunnels and discover a significant part of French military history.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for breathtaking views of the coast without the crowds, Sainte-Agn\u00e8s is definitely worth a visit.<\/p>\n

4. Peillon: a preserved temporal capsule<\/h2>\n

If you are looking for silence, come here.<\/p>\n

Peillon seems to be spared by modern tourism. You won\u2019t find rows of souvenir shops or crowded restaurant terraces there. Instead, you\u2019ll discover narrow alleys, stone houses that have aged with time, and quiet corners where only the birds come to break the silence.<\/p>\n

The village was built on a mountain side, so that many of the houses seem to emerge from the rock itself. Narrow staircases connect the streets, as cars cannot access most of the village.<\/p>\n

Plan to spend a few hours wandering around without a specific itinerary. This is the best way to appreciate this peaceful village.<\/p>\n

5. Gourdon: The balcony of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur<\/h2>\n

Gourdon towers spectacularly on the top of a rocky cliff overlooking the Loup valley.<\/p>\n

The drive to the village is almost as memorable as the destination itself. The road climbs through the mountains before opening out onto vast panoramas of valleys, forests and the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n

If you want to discover spectacular landscapes, Gourdon is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur.<\/p>\n

6. Mougins: the perched gastronomic village<\/h2>\n

Mougins welcomes you with the scents of fresh bread, aromatic herbs and simmered Proven\u00e7al dishes.<\/p>\n

Nestled in the heart of pine forests, a few minutes' drive from Cannes, the village nevertheless exudes a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.<\/p>\n

As you stroll through the village, you\u2019ll notice colorful shutters, flower-filled balconies, and outdoor terraces where locals gather for long lunches and dinners.<\/p>\n

Mougins should be at the top of your list if you enjoy discovering local cuisine while strolling through its historic streets.<\/p>\n

7. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin: the former border<\/h2>\n

Just a few minutes from Monaco is one of the oldest villages on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur.<\/p>\n

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin often surprises visitors who only know its glamorous neighbor.<\/p>\n

His greatest treasure is the oldest one feudal castle of France<\/a>Built more than 1,000 years ago, its thick stone walls, medieval towers, and peaceful courtyards tell stories that date back to the early Middle Ages.<\/p>\n

What to do to organize your visit on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur<\/h2>\n

A little organization will allow you to make the most of these villages. Here are some tips to keep in mind before your visit to the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur.<\/p>\n

01. Visit them in May or September<\/h3>\n

The end of spring and the beginning of autumn are the best times to explore these villages. It\u2019s warm enough to walk around, and the streets are much quieter than in the summer.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t have a great time if you come in the summer. Indeed, summer can be a wonderful time to discover these villages if you enjoy long sunny days, lively terraces, and the opportunity to combine a visit to the perched villages with moments on the coast. Just be prepared for higher temperatures and a bit more crowds, especially in the most famous villages.<\/p>\n

02. Moving around<\/h2>\n

The easiest way to visit several villages is to rent a small car. This gives you the freedom to travel at your own pace and stop whenever you see a beautiful view.<\/p>\n

If you prefer not to drive, local buses from Nice connect many of these villages. This is a good option if you are traveling on a limited budget or if you plan to take day trips around the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur.<\/p>\n

Most villages have steep cobbled streets, rugged paths and many stairs. A good pair of shoes will make your exploration much more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Also bring a reusable water bottle, especially if you are visiting the region during the warmer months. Many villages involve steep climbs, and you will appreciate having water at hand.<\/p>\n
