Saint-Jeannet, a jewel of the Nice hinterland
A village with a unique character
Nestled at the foot of the impressive Baou de Saint-Jeannet — a limestone cliff rising to 800 meters — this medieval village offers a striking contrast to the French Riviera coastline. Its cobbled streets, stone houses, and panoramic views over the Var valley make it a popular destination for those in the know.
Saint-Jeannet is also one of the oldest wine-growing regions of Provence. The Romans were already cultivating vines there two millennia ago, and this tradition continues today at Domaine des Hautes Collines.
- Picturesque Village
- Internationally renowned climbing site
- Millennial winemaking heritage
- Panoramic view of the sea and mountains
