Utelle

Among the towns of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Utelle stands out for its hilltop setting above the Vésubie valley in the Alpes-Maritimes. The old settlement occupies a spur in the southern Alps, where steep slopes and olive-growing terraces mark the transition between Mediterranean country and higher mountain terrain. Above the village, the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Utelle is a longstanding pilgrimage destination and an important landmark on the road into the interior valleys. Utelle belongs to the wider Mercantour area, whose protected mountain country defines much of this corner of southeastern France.
