Built over a rock base to 760 m of altitude, Gourdon dominates the Valley of the Wolf.

Its incomparable panorama is spread out over 80 km of Nice with Théoule. To 10 km only as the crow flies of the Mediterranean, this insulated rock was a defense and place of refuge, at the most moved back times…

This old feudal village deserves your turning by its many vestiges to be visited as by the charm of its inclined lanes. You will take pleasure to discover the local arts and crafts: glassmaking of art, painting on silk, perfumery, soaps, honey, nougat, gingerbread… with at the turning of a small square, some old houses with carved doors.
