Pays Vençois

Between Baous and Garrigue. Lovely Provençal villages or wild garrigue on Plateau de Caussols and Col de Vence, with a variety of atmospheres. The land of Vence is also the land of the Loup Gorges, waterfalls (cascades of Courmes, Les Demoiselles, Saut du Loup) and rock climbing with Baou de Saint-Jeannet (807m) overlooking the entire coast of the French Riviera...
