Montauroux

Perched on a hilltop, Montauroux is set facing the village of Callian on the neighbouring hill. In days gone by, the town crier could be heard in both villages! Montauroux is an old village, home to narrow lanes lined with stone houses. Don't miss a visit to the astonishing Saint Barthélémy chapel, entirely decorated with painted wood panels. This "Station Verte" green village forms part of the Haute-Siagne protected natural area. Just down the road, Saint-Cassien lake offers a packed programme of swimming, pedalo, canoeing, rowing and fishing. And if you push on towards Grasse, you will come to the "Bambouseraie du Mandarin" bamboo plantation on the banks of the river Siagne, set in the grounds of an ancient, fully-restored wheat mill. »
