The most beautiful villages on the Côte d’Azur

Eze-Costa-Azul
I know that everyone looks at Paris when traveling to France. Thanks to the Eiffel Tower and other charms, the capital is able to attract tourists from all over the world to become one of the three most visited cities every year. However, you have to explore more Gallic territory giving opportunities to areas such as the Côte d’Azur , which not only attracts your attention for its wonderful beaches, but is also made up of really beautiful towns.

In this article I will talk about those that in my opinion you should visit yes or yes, although it is also true that not all of them are easily accessible, since many are located at a considerable altitude.

Gordes

Gordes
No one can doubt the charm of Gordes, a municipality located in the Valcluse hills, at an altitude of 370 meters. Especially after seeing how some renowned painters decided to be inspired by its streets full of cobblestones with light stone houses when creating some of their works.

Roussillon

Roussillon
Very close to Gordes is Roussillon, a small town of just over 1,300 inhabitants that receives a very curious nickname: “ the Provencal Colorado ”. What is the nickname for? To the 17 brown, red and yellow tones that permeate the facades of the neighborhood, something that can be explained by looking at the ocher quarries located upstream.

Seillans

Seillans
With just over 2,500 inhabitants, Seillans is another of the towns on the Côte d’Azur that I would recommend to everyone. It is located on the slopes of Mont Auzières and invites you to walk through its winding streets, the same ones that take you to the squares and the pink houses that fill every day with life.

Saint-Agnès

Saint-Agnes
You have to go up to 800 meters above sea level to set foot in Saint-Agnès, which is in the department of the Alpes-Maritimes . They say that it is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in the country, something that you can see in the first person if you enter its alleys.

Coaraze

Coaraze
This other town is also medieval and has a population that does not even reach 1,000 inhabitants, which does not surprise anyone considering that it is in the Maritime Alps at an average altitude of 620 meters which at its highest point reaches be 1,414 meters . What do we like the most? What is in the interior of Nice and has a prehistoric and artistic past that is breathed through its streets shaped some of the walls.

Èze

Eze-town
Some 2,500 people live in Eze, which is also in the Maritime Alps, specifically between Nice and Monaco. I recommend that you go to see its castle, which is flanked by a botanical garden that houses exotic species. And not only that, but you should also relax contemplating unforgettable views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Peille

Peille
Last but not least, the town of Peille is another of the great exponents of the Côte d’Azur. He joins the club of those who are in the Maritime Alps and does so by presenting his candidacy to be one of the most desired by tourists, especially by those who want to merge with nature to enjoy incredible panoramic views. And not only that, since its medieval past makes getting lost in its narrow streets to go to its fountains and squares a pleasure.
