Small hamlet with pretty stone houses, surrounded by vast fields. In summer, many families come to spend their vacations here, and the square comes alive with the laughter of children and late-night pétanque games.
Time seems to stand still as you climb a short distance toward the Saint-Nicolas Chapel, where you’re guaranteed a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks and the Entrevaux Citadel , which comes into view at the bottom of the valley. The hike starts from the village square; allow 40 minutes for the round trip.
In ancient times, the Romans populated the Villevieille area and in the 12th century, a monastery existed, of which unfortunately no trace remains today.
