Séranon Population :319 h. Surface Area : 2328 ha. Altitude : 1100 m. Department : Alpes Maritimes

Located on the Route Napoléon (N85) which goes from Grasse to Digne les Bains. Bus connection. Grasse - St Auban - daily except Sunday and holidays. Séranon was initially situated on a crest, during the dangerous period of barbarian invasions. It subsequently moved down onto the plain at the foot of an impressive cliff carved out by erosion. It faces due south in a pastoral setting of wooded hills. Although the district is worth visiting especially for its landscapes, a quick visit to the village will give you the opportunity to admire a wash house, a fountain (dating from 1898) and a pétanque pitch, all typical Mediterranean features! You will also be able to admire some wild cherry trees and two majestic chestnut trees.There are also sloping, narrow streets leading to a small square, where you will discover some curious looking rusty old agricultural machines on display on a flower-covered grassy patch! As a matter of interest, Séranon played host to a famous visitor in 1815 which is a source of pride for the village: on his return from Elba, Napoleon spent a night here, though according to legend he did not sleep, because he feared for his life! Don't leave Séranon without getting one of its little souvenirs: a sculpture on wood signed by the local artist or quite simply … a good cow's milk cheese !
