Isola Village
By car, 97 km North of Nice take the RN 202 for 38 km then right on the D2205.

Isola Village is a medieval village located at the convergence of the river Tinée and the stream of Castiglione, which comes down from the valley of Chastillon.

An authentic mountain village with astonishing riches to share. The tourist office organises free guided tours.

You will discover the bell tower of St Pierre, standing like a sentinel at the entrance to the village, a magnificent square 12th century edifice and the only surviving remains of the ancient church of St Pierre.

If you like trompe-l’oeil painting, you'll be in seventh heaven, dazzled by the numerous façades painted in soft blue, pink and yellow tints. Starting with the baroque church of St Pierre es Liens, (17th century).

Take the main street, beautifully cobbled, to admire the incredible chapel of St Anne (1465). Its facade is completely covered with painted murals, and the ceilings are also painted with Sienna.

Isola is a marvellous place that has a surprise in store at each street corner: an old stone tower, oven, fountains and wash houses, roofs hesitating between slates and tiles. In this smart and superbly restored village you will no doubt be greeted by some of the old timers, serenely watching time go by !
