St Vallier de Thiey

St Vallier is a very pleasant small town just 12 km from Grasse, and the first stop along the Route Napoléon going into the Beyond of the Riviera. It's set on a high plateau, overlooked by the high hills. St Vallier began as a Roman stronghold, and contains a Romanesque church dating back to the early 12^th century.

St Vallier is a great picnic stop, especially for families with kids. A very large, open park of green grass has space for a multitude of families to play ball and throw frisbees, and it's surrounded by large horse chestnut trees for picnics in the shade. A playground and tennis courts are located in the far-right corner of the open park.

For travelers, there are plenty of shops here, hotels and several gas stations. One garage handles sports cars, and I've often seen MGs, Morgans and such. They also sell a very nice looking Lotus Super Seven replica.
