Castillon

Tucked into the Maritime Alps above the Mediterranean coast near the Italian border, Castillon is a place whose character is shaped by steep slopes and its high inland setting. The commune lies in Menton’s mountainous hinterland, where winding roads connect small settlements across the Alpes-Maritimes. Castillon’s present village was rebuilt after the 1887 Ligurian earthquake devastated the older settlement, a defining event in its modern history. Stone houses, narrow lanes and cultivated terraces reflect the practical demands of living on this rugged terrain.
