Marie

Marie is a small village in the Tinée valley set against a wooded, mountainous environment.

It's extremely pretty name comes from an ancient tradition when the village was a pilgrimage centre for the residents of the lower Tinée valley and the Valdeblore valley.

The residents of Marie (called Mariols!!) have retained a remnant of this ancient tradition which takes place each year at the end of August.

When you visit the the village of Marie, you'll find some traces of its medieval past and can take great pleasure in wandering around its narrow streets, stepped paths and vaulted passageways.

You'll also be able to admire the tall houses, with their ancient stone walls worn by the passage of time, weather and sunshine, clinging to the mountainside.

The village of Marie has really understood how to get the best from the natural charm of the village.
