It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful perched villages of the Côte d’Azur. It is for this reason that it is fully classified. Its typically medieval architecture with its stacking, its built arcades, its vaulted passages, its small winding staircases in cobbled streets, will offer you a succession of surprises and opportunities for wonder. The visit to Peillon-Village begins with Place Arnulf where the fountain dating from 1800 is located. This fountain was listed as a Historic Monument in 1941. The base was made with part of the stones of the old gate of the village. At the entrance of the village, you cross the passage of the old entrance gate of the fortress of Peillon which you can guess thanks to the remains of the doorframe and the iron hinges, just after the War Memorial. At the top of the village, you will find the Parish Church of Saint-Sauveur or Church of the Transfiguration. This is exactly where the remains of a fortified castle are hidden. The square keep obtained a new existence from the 12th century in the form of a church bell tower. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was rebuilt with an octagonal roof made of slates replacing the old glazed tiles. A small chapel used for worship for many years before being transformed and enlarged first at the beginning of the 16th century (1525) then in the 17th century (1643). Its facade, of classical composition, was erected in 1793 thanks to the Prior François Fulconis. During the last restoration in 1980, fragments of frescoes of unknown author were discovered in the choir. At 376 meters above sea level, in the valley of the Paillons, the town of Peillon takes its name from the old perched medieval village, fortified, which dominates it from the top of its rocky outcrop, an eagle’s nest at the bottom of a mountain cirque. preserved for centuries. Going up from Nice, 13 kilometers away, the various hamlets of the town – Borghéas, Châteauvieux, les Mazues, Sainte-Thècle, Les Moulins, le Village, les Novaines – follow one another peacefully in the heart of a preserved natural environment. #france #travel #peillon #nice #frenchvillage #frenchriviera
