Isola

Isola sits beside the Tinée River in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, where a narrow Alpine valley rises from Mediterranean-facing foothills toward the Mercantour mountains. The old settlement occupies the upper Tinée valley in the Alpes-Maritimes, while the purpose-built Isola 2000 ski resort lies higher within the same commune. Isola belonged to the historic County of Nice, a borderland long tied to Savoy; the county was annexed to France in 1860. Stone houses, steep lanes and the river corridor give the village a distinctly inland character, far removed from the Riviera coast.
