Bézaudun les Alpes

Last update on Feb 14, 2026

22 km north of Vence, between Coursegoules and Bouyon.Take the Vence, pass, the D2 and then the D8.

Bezaudun will surprise you: parked in the small car park at the belvedere overlooking a wild and uninhabited landscape in the foothills of the St Barnabé plateau, the village will offer you a harmonious and well-preserved set of old houses, built in the local stone of a beautiful pale gray slightly iridescent.
Bezaudun Les Alpes, church

Clinging to its slope, this mid-mountain village built in stairs and tightened in the middle of ramparts of which some vestiges remain, is topped at its summit by a high rectangular tower (13th and 14th century) with twin windows, which constitutes the beautiful remains of a medieval castle. Also picturesque, the stone church and its campanile bell tower.
While breathing in perfectly pure and lively air, you will have a lot of fun climbing the cobbled streets, admiring an old wash house here, a vaulted passage there, or even some beautiful buildings built on outcropping rocks.

A short stop at the orientation table located in the heart of the village is essential: you will have a panoramic view of the Baou de Saint Jeannet and the coastal region in the distance.
And perhaps you will want to settle down with your little family in this charming, quiet village, as a painter, an illustrator and a stained glass designer have already done before you!
