Aspremont Explore Aspremont with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau
The hilltop village of Aspremont dominates the Var plain. The houses here are built in concentric circles around its beautiful Gothic church. A visit to the village is a challenge, but the reward is there at the end of the road: cobbled streets, vaulted passageways, secret flower gardens, dressed stone houses, fountains and wash-houses… Not to mention a splendid panorama of the Mediterranean!
