What will be you choice for one village to visit (not coastal sites), if you%26#39;ve been in Eze and St Paul already?
If thing about somthing accessable by public trasport and worth the visit (nice views and differ from Nice).
I considering La Turbie, but what will be the choice of the others?
|||
I suppose it depoends what you are looking for but
by train:
Entrevaux
Tende
Sospel
la brigue
breil sur roya
bus:
Vence
Haut de cagnes
Villeneuve-Loubet village [not plage]
Levens and Tourettes-levens - easily combined in one day
La Turbie
|||
a little bit far by public transport:but
gourdon
tourettes sur loup
saint agnes
...
but 2 hours (one hour with a car) to go only in a small village, it%26#39;s a long way
I like also
haut de cagnes
eze and saint paul stay a must

Thanks for the suggestions, after research based on the photos from Internet, the best balance between efforts to get to and views to see are
Entrevaux
Vence
La Turbie.
I hope that it is correct assumption, so I will try them during my next visit.

We went to La Turbie a couple of weeks ago, as well as Eze and St.Paul de Vence. We really enjoyed La Turbie and the medieval village there, Le Trophee d%26#39;Auguste. The views were spectacular, looking over Monaco and the coast. For lunch, stop at Cafe de La Fontaine, and eat with the locals. The food was great!
|||
Seconded - stick with La Turbie - its a great little place. The TAM bus 116 at 10:45 out of Nice Gare Routiere will take you there for one euro in forty minutes. Brilliant.
In the unlikely event you are fit %26quot;hikers%26quot; there are two terrific walks starting at La Turbie - the Grande Corniche to Fort Reverie and Col d%26#39;Eze, and the scenic path down to Monaco, which is a little bit of a goat path but the views on the way down are absolutely blindingly spectacular, non-pareil. (What the car-drivers can%26#39;t get) From there you can bus it back to Nice for another euro.
Two euro for a day out like that? Scandalous.
Or just stick to the local scene - also great in itself.
|||
Hw to found out this scenic path down to Monaco? Any special signs, or just ask in Tourist Information Office for more details?
I am not sure that I will be able to do this hiking, but the way DOWN is sound promissing.
LAst year a go from Mont Boron to Villefranche after the TA suggestions and was absolutely happy, so know I am looking for another fantastic day out.

The Tourist off ice at La Turbie have a set of walking plans.The tricky bit for which you need the plan is getting out of la Turbie village itself, by which you pass in front of the big church and down behind the Triomphe d%26#39;Auguste estate, down a hairpin bend road, and pretty quickly you find yourself at a wooded area where the trails start. Head through the wood and Monaco comes into sight, and Italy out to the horizon. Its a truly spectacular panorama, which enables you to %26quot;look down on Monaco%26quot; Then a broad car-width track which takes you half way down past the %26quot;Hauts de Monaco%26quot;, at which point the trail becomes a typical single narrow stony track winding down the rest of the hillside until you reach %26quot;civilisation%26quot; - Beusolieil and than down the lifts and escalators to Monaco port.
Its an easier walk than the Neitschze path at Eve Village, and the view is truly extraordinary. Its about an hour and a half, possibly two, and down hill all the way. Recommended.

St Agnes was already suggested but I will second this village. It is more of a perched village and can be reached by public transportation. It will probably be an all day trip due to limited bus transportation but possible. It would be an alternative to Peillon. It is bigger than Peillon but has a similar feeling with the small pedestrian only village. There are also great views from ruins above the village. It is quiet but does have several restaurants and a few shops. But it does not feel overly touristy.
You would go to Menton first, then take the local Menton - St Agnes bus. Here is the schedule for that line:

Another interesting village that hasn%26#39;t been mentioned is Biot. You can easily get there by bus. There is a small envi-bus line that runs from the Biot train station to the village. The Cannes bus 200 also stops at the train station so you can do the first part by either train or bus and then transfer to the smaller local bus. Here is the schedule for the smaller bus:

Biot is known for blown glass art work. There are several shops in the town and factories a short walk out of town. The town is also wonderful to wander in.
