At an altitude of 700 m, near the Mercantour National Park, the Gorges du Verdon and the Côte d’Azur, Annot is in a privileged location between the Alps and the Mediterranean.
Off the beaten track, this medieval town stretches along the foot of the famous sandstones of Annot in the shade of hundred year-old chestnut trees and has kept its character and authenticity.
In Romanesque times, Annot occupied the quarter of Vers-la-Ville. In the middle Ages, the village was to change place: a first fortified surrounding wall was built from the church, dedicated at the time to Saint Pons.
The counts of Provence granted it many privileges and the town flourished. In XIVth century, a new belt of fortifications was built around it, as can be seen in the gates of la Grand’rue and rue Notre-Dame.
As you wander along the village streets, you will be taken back to the atmosphere of the middle Ages with its stalls, arcades, carved lintels, sandstone cobbles, historic doors and old houses.
Sandstone will be your guide from tower to fountain and semi-circular arched doors to mullioned windows. Up to XXth century, it marked the town’s architecture.
The place du germe, a magnificent area with secular plane trees, hosts, at Whitsun, a battalion in 1st Empire costume: the Bravade.
In Summer, Provence is celebrated with its traditions and its local produce. An approved « Station Verte de Vacances », Annot is a tourist village which welcomes all year round, hikers and other nature-lovers; its climbing site, in the middle of the sandstone blocks, attracts climbers from all over Europe.
Culture also has an important place along with music, painting, sculpture and dancing which liven up the village all through the year.

A l’époque romaine, Annot occupe le quartier de Vers-la-Ville. Au Moyen-Âge, le village change d’emplacement : une première enceinte fortifiée est construite à partir de l’église, alors dédiée à Saint Pons.
Les comtes de Provence lui accordent de nombreux privilèges et la cité prospère. Au XIV ème siècle, elle s’entoure d’une nouvelle ceinture de fortifications , comme en témoignent les portes de la Grand’rue et de la rue Notre-Dame .

La place du germe, magnifique espace aux platanes centenaires, accueille, à la Pentecôte, un bataillon en costume du 1er Empire : La Bravade, lors de la fête de la Saint-Fortunat.

Charming village in the hills above Nice
Annot combines medieval charm with modern Provençal style in a wonderfully relaxed fashion. It's also a great centre for mountain sports.
On the scenic train line from Nice to Dignes, on arrival at Annot train station the main village is a 10-minute walk away through a pleasant residential area; it’s easy to find, just look out for the red roof tiles and head in that direction.
First of all you’ll pass by the tourist office on the main square, a wide shady area lined with tall Plane trees. Beyond is a quiet intersection where the terraces of a few different cafés and bars face a large petanque pitch beside the river Vaïre. The bridge that crosses the river is the Pont de la Donne, built in 1709 and registered as an historical monument.
On turning right at the intersection you’ll enter the old village; a fascinating tangle of medieval alleyways and beautiful stone buildings. The tiny streets all loop round to meet each other, so it's easy to double back and find yourself back where you started without realising.
Annot is not just a monument to the past, there is also lots to do and it is a popular site for rock climbers thanks to the sandstone of the Grès d'Annot.
History & Culture in [locality]
The legend of the Chambres du Roi dates back to the 10th century when Saracen marauders were sweeping France.
Apparently a Christian prince of Lower Provence was on the run from the Saracens and was granted refuge in a rocky cavern, where he and his princess lived in safety until their hiding place was revealed by a traitor and they were slaughtered by the Saracens, along with the people of Annot who had helped hide them. The entire village would have been wiped out if it were not for a plague that swept through the Saracen ranks, mysteriously stopping once all the infidels were dead.
All good stories obviously end with a ghostly presence and this one is the restless soul of the traitor, who apparently appears as a strange glowing vision as dawn breaks over the rocks.
Sights & Attractions in [locality]
In the heart of the old village is the solid stone church of Notre-Dame, call into the smaller Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs next door to see the beautiful 17th century altar painting by François Mimault.
The stone vaulted archway that leads to the old village marks the start of the Grand Rue - the main road of Annot since the 14th century.
Events in [locality]
Annot has a regular market every Tuesday morning and a foire on Saturdays.
Things to do in [locality]
Call into the tourist office and pick up a town map, it has all the historical monuments listed on it so that you can go on a self-guided walking tour.
The Grès d'Annot is a site popular with rock climbers for its massive sandstone boulders, some more than 100m high. You can also see the impressive rock formations by following the Chambre du Roi; a hiking trail that starts behind the train station and loops round through forests back to the village. It takes around three hours and is reasonably flat.
There are also many other hikes signposted from the village that lead into the mountains and gorges of the Vallée du Var.
Dining in [locality]
The centre of Annot has a small collection of cafés, bars, bakeries and crêperies. If you want to feel like a true local then head to the Café du Commerce beside the river and sip on a pastis whilst watching the locals play petanque.
Annot is situated between Nice and Dignes-les-Bains and can most easily be reached on the Train des Pignes , a slow-moving but very scenic train ride through the Var valley.
If you're driving, Annot is on route D908 just off the RN202.

Les Grès d'Annot
For an arresting insight into the forces of nature, a hike up to these massive, fractured stone blocks above the town of Annot is well worth the effort. Caused by volcanic activity around 35 million years ago, they've been sculpted into all kinds of weird and wondrous forms by millennia of erosion. In total, the site covers an area of around 150 hectares criss-crossed by several hiking trails.
Key sights include the Chambre du Roi (King's Chamber), a deep cave inhabited since ancient times, and the Defilé des Garambes , an atmospheric gully shaded by towering holly trees.
The Blue Trail covers 4.4km there-and-back, or you can extend it onto a loop along the Red Path for a total of 6km.

Entrevaux travel guide
Visit Entrevaux (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France)
Entrevaux is to the south-east of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department and a few kilometres east of Annot .
Explore Entrevaux
France This Way review: a medieval village, Entrevaux is very picturesque, in a raised position above a bend in the river Var, and surrounded by the craggy slopes of the lower provencal mountains.
The town is entered by way of a narrow ancient bridge and through a gate in the fortified walls (in all there are three of these medieval gateways in Entrevaux).
Inside the walls you will find a warren of winding streets lined by ancient houses to explore, passing shady squares and babbling fountains. Many of the houses have interesting features - be sure to amble up the narrow side streets to get a real feel for the village.
The 18th century oil mill still operates (unusual even in Provence) while another notable feature is the sundial on the Maison Fulconis which has been keeping locals informed of the time since the 16th century. You will also notice a communal bread oven - called a 'four banal' because it was once the only bakers in the village and residents had to buy their bread their at prices set by the local gentry.
You will reach the small Entrevaux 'Cathedral of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption' at the end of the town - it is still referred to as a cathedral although the 17th century church lost the official role in 1790. Pass through the carved stone entrance to see the ornate choir inside, and the 18th century organ.
After exploring the village head for the 11th century citadelle at Entrevaux that stands high on a rocky outcrop above the village. The citadelle (fortified by Vauban in the 17th century) is reached by a steep (and hot!) path that climbs up the edge of the rock. The views back down to the village from the citadel make the climb worthwhile.
Back down in the village, Entrevaux also has a very unusual small museum dedicated to mopeds and small motorbikes, with the exhibits dating back as far as the 1920's.
In the vicinity
One curious sight known as the 'elephants' can be seen if you follow the RN202 out of Entrevaux. These are substantial stone bridges built to safely carry floodwater across the road and railway line and into the river below, and to avoid flooding.
A popular way to reach Entrevaux and to see more of the surrounding countryside is to take the 'Train des Pignes' - perhaps to nearby Annot (operates summer only). The village of Castellane is also nearby and merits a visit.
You can find more travel ideas in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence guide and the Provence guide .
