Gréolières

Gréolières is a pretty Medieval village perched on a ridge against the southern flank of the Cheiron mountain, in the hills 25 km north of Grasse.

Ruins of medieval castles (in upper village and lower village), ancient chapels, narrow streets and old buildings, Gréolières is small but interesting for a short walk-around visit.

The ruins of an even older village are on the hillside above the current village. It's only a short walk up the hill to explore these old ruins, and you'll have a good view down onto Gréolières.

The surrounding mountains and valleys make a magnificent setting for Gréolières. If you're driving through, you should stop just for a look around at the scenery, at the very least.

Gréolières village is a popular stopping place for hikers (summer) and skiers (winter), with a some basic commerce and a selection of café-restaurants.
