The Roya River defines the setting of Breil-sur-Roya — its bends and steep valley sides shape a compact settlement in the Maritime Alps, close to the Italian border. The older quarter follows the river with tightly grouped houses, small squares and narrow lanes, while the surrounding slopes reflect the rugged character of the Roya valley. The Baroque church of Sancta Maria in Albis is a notable local landmark. Breil-sur-Roya is also an important stop on the railway routes linking Nice, Ventimiglia and Cuneo.
