Peillon

Peillon, situated at an altitude of 376m/1,234ft in the hinterland of Monaco (5km/3mi as the crow flies), is probably one of the finest examples of a Provençal "nid d'aigle". In the Chapel of Notre-Dame de la Madone-des-Douleurs (Chapel of the White Monks) there are frescos by Canavesi (15th/16th C.). In August the Fêtes du Vieux Village take place.
