  On
the edge of the Mercantour National
Park, Châteauneuf d'Entraunes is a mountain village perched
in a sublime spot, overlooking the Var valley and benefitting from
a 360° panoramic view!
Its un unpretentious mountain village where both the old farmersand
the children will greet you.
Châteauneuf deserves your attention. It boasts a superb
municipal oven with a shingle roof, a fountain and its drinking
trough carved out of a tree trunk, some newly repainted house
 fronts and several old barns (some of which need restoring), the
very small St. Joseph chapel surrounded by a garden, a few wooden
balconies, a door dating back to 1774, etc.
A quick visit to the "Grain of Salt" museum will enable
you to discover our grandmothers' lingerie, ancient objects and
even some rare butterflies!
Châteauneuf
d’Entraunes has a marvellous south-facing aspect, benefitting
from air that is as pure as it is invigorating. It's the hiker's
paradise.  Whether you like short walks or long slogs you have
an embarrassment of riches to choose from, between Cime de Pal
(2818m), Mont Rougnous (2673m), and Cime de l’Aspre (2468m),
etc.
The less sporty can visit the Moulin de la Barlate mill (35 minutes'
walk), which was a working mill from 1672 and 1954 … and still
functions to this day! Bird-lovers won't want to miss the “Collet
de Sen”, a preserved biotope covering some 2.7 km of cliffs,
where you will be able to observe (in silence!) royal eagles, falcons,
crag martins, sparrowhawks and sometimes even bats ! |
