Cantaron is a little mountain village, situated in the Paillon valley in the hinterland of Nice. Cantaron is actually made up of several small villages spread around in the area. The fantastic situation tucked away from the hectic coastal life makes Cantaron a good place to spend a holiday, and still it is not too far away from the fashionable Nice and Monte Carlo.
- Walking and hiking tours in the area
- Golf –There are lots of golf courses in the department of Alpes Maritimes. Most of the courses can be found on the French golf union’s website. Unfortunately the website is in French. Seek under Guide de golfs and then under the region Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur: http://www.ffgolf.org/#
- Ski resorts within easy travelling distance: http://www.skifrance.fr/default-a.htm
- Eglise St. Joseph: Church from the 18th century with its triangular bell tower.
Cantaron is a very little town, and the old quarter is definitely worth a visit.
There are several good hiking routes in the area.
The best view of the valley is from the neighbouring village, Saut de Millo.
