Guillaumes

Among the towns of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Guillaumes stands out for its position in the upper Var valley, beneath slopes of red sedimentary rock. South of the village, the Var cuts through the Gorges de Daluis, where exposed rock gives the valley a distinctly rust-coloured character. Guillaumes belonged to the former County of Nice, a borderland whose attachment to France in 1860 still helps explain the region’s layered identity. Its old centre is compact and built around narrow streets, while roads lead toward the Col de la Cayolle and the high country of Mercantour National Park.
