La Penne

77 Km North West of Nice, on the RN 202 after Puget-Théniers.

La Penne, the village
Built on the slopes of a mountain ridge, La Penne is a small village of tall houses wisely grouped around each other.
Wonderful views can be seen over the Val du Chanan, between the Var and Esteron valleys.
La Penne, bell-tower
Vast verdant pasture land flows down from the village turning into forests and copses much lower down the slopess.
Take a detour to the hamlet of Besseuges where the landscapes are truly magnificent.
There's also some roman and ligurian remains and La Penne is a paradise for amateur geologists.
