The village of Sainte-Agn\u00e8s is well worth a visit.It’s an unspoilt medieval village with narrow streets, stone houses and a timeless atmosphere. It’s known as Europe’s highest coastal village. It’s perched at an altitude of 800m, overlooking the sea!<\/p>\n\n

What’s more, thanks to its strategic location, it has a long military history, with the ruins of a castle at the summit, and the Fort de Sainte-Agnes (part of the Maginot line), built before the Second World War, which is set deep into the rocky spur.It has been awarded the “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” label.<\/p>\n\n

In our opinion, it’s one of the most beautiful villages on the C\u00f4te d’<\/a> Azur. And it’s really less touristy than many, which makes it one of the hidden gems<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
