St-Jeannet


St-Jeannet
St-Jeannet is a charming little mountain village, situated 8 km northeast of Vence in the department of Alpes Maritimes. St-Jeannet has a very beautiful natural scenic location at the foot of a huge cliff, Baou de St. Jeannet, and it is a very ideal holiday spot both for trips in the pretty Provencal countryside or along the coast. There are only respectively 35 and 20 km to the fashionable Riviera cities, Cannes and Nice.

Baou de St.

Jeannet looks incredibly steep and unapproachable, but it is actually possible to climb it. From its top there are great views of the French and Italian Alps. The enormous cliff massif has attracted a great number of artists including Renoir, Poussins, Fragonard and Chagall. St-Jeannet lies on a natural terrace, from where there are outstanding views of the surrounding landscape.
The medieval village of St-Jeannet

It is recommendable to park the car outside the village, where it is free – it only takes a short walk to the centre of the village.

St-Jeannet is a typical little village with alleys and stairways, crossing each other, and beautiful stone houses. When entering the village you first arrive at Place St. Barbe, with its fantastic view of the Mediterranean. Here, there is a little outdoor café and an auberge/restaurant. In St-Jeannet you will find an innumerable amount of old buildings, a newly restored church, Eglise Paroissiale St.Jean-Baptiste, from 1660 as well as a couple of fountains, of which one is from 1875.

St-Jeannet is a well-known centre for witchcraft and sorcery.

Some of the old women in the village are supposed to use herbs and magic formulas to cure different illnesses and sufferings. The village has its own water supply from sources high up in the Baou cliff.
Covered passage in St-Jeannet

In the Baou de St.

Jeannet cliff there are lots of caves which for centuries have given shelter to the villagers in situations of danger. At the top of Baou de la Gaude, situated on the right hand side of the village, there are remains of a Neolithic fortress. Here, you can also find le vieux chêne, a 600 years old oak tree.
