Photo - Perched dramatically on a cliffside in the hills above Nice, the medieval village of Peillon feels frozen in time. Narrow stone lanes, vaulted passageways, and terraced houses cascade down the rocky outcrop, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Provençal landscape. With no cars allowed in the village centre, it’s a quiet, timeless escape. Peillon’s 15th-century chapel, Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs, houses rare frescoes by artist Giovanni Canavesio—among the most remarkable in the region, and still remarkably well-preserved.
