Nice hinterland - La Parare

Yesterday we drove from Aix en Provence to a village in the Nice hinterland (Chateauneuf Villevieille). We are staying in a lovely bed and breakfast (La Parare) about 25 minutes inland from Nice.


The surrounding countryside is spectacular. Very mountainous, with narrow winding roads for Bill to navigate!

Today we visited an old bastide village, Peillon, perched high on a single hilltop where the narrow streets were only accessible by foot (photos 1 & 2). We also visited the famous town of Eze, well known for its breathtaking views of the Cote d'Azur and its perfumerie.





Unfortunately the rain has settled in, so sight seeing was somewhat limited. No complaints, as we have been very lucky with the weather. It was perfect for snuggling up in our cosy room (photos 3, 4 ,& 5 show our terrace and view).

Two more days and then we head off to Bangkok on our way home (sigh!).

    AS much as I would love to see you again do you have to come home.
