Visit Clans with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau
In the Tinée Valley, Clans is a little village with many treasures: fine stone houses, old wash houses and troughs, 16th-century flour mill and an oil mill.
You won’t want to miss the huge Place du Verger shaded by plane trees, its many fountains, the very pleasant avenue of lime trees or the clos bouliste. You can also seek the benefits of nature and gain height, and find yourself in the heart of one of the most beautiful forests in the department, by taking the hiking trails, on foot or on an electrically-assisted bicycle.
