The mountain wins us over

Today, head to the Alpes Maritime, in Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée. This small village in the Mercantour National Park, built on the banks of the river and in the hollow of a wide sunny valley, offers a pleasant and peaceful quality of life to residents and holidaymakers. As you stroll through the streets of the village, let yourself be guided by the testimonies of the past: pastel-colored facades, perspective wall paintings, sundials and fountains and much more. If you are lucky enough to be able to push the door of the parish church or the 7 listed chapels, you will discover a religious heritage of great beauty, in particular the murals that attract art lovers from all over the world.
