50 Km from Nice. Take the RN 202, in the direction of Digne.
Massoins is a charming little medieval hill top village, perched on its rocky outcrop overlooking the Var valley.
Surrounded by beautiful green verdant landscapes, Massoins is a pleasant village to visit with its beautiful paved streets.
Its stone built houses have ben restored with a lot of care and attention are are superb.
Some of the ochre facades, faded by the sun give a provencal feel to the village. This impression is reinforced by the vegetation and planting around the squares and down its streets.
There are a few fountains to refresh your walk and a pleasant café can be found in front of the oil mill where you can replenish your forces.
