Bairols

Pop.: 114 inh.

The Department of Alpes Maritimes



40 km. north of Nice by route RN202,

Situated 40km. from Nice, Bairols is built in a circle on the slopes of the Tinee at 850 m. altitude. Over the past twenty years the mayor of the village has worked to renovate this ancient fief of Queen Jeanne.
