A village with pretty facades with pastel shutters and an irresistible charm, covered by the vine, and ornate doors
In the Middle Ages, the region was abandoned, but in 1519, Valbonne was reborn thanks to the initiative of Prior Antoine Taxil and Bishop Augustin de Grimaldi. Investors populated the "good valley" of Vallis Bona along La Brague, renting houses from peasants. Valbonne stands out from other Provencal villages with its orthogonal checkerboard layout, inherited from Roman towns, consisting of two main streets and a central square. Charming facades with pastel shutters, small restaurants... the village has retained its Provencal charm.
