Nearly 1200 feet high, Sainte Agnes is the highest village by the sea in Europe. From Cap Martin to the Italian riviera, the Mediterranean is at its feet.

Sainte Agnes has long been a coveted military outpost: it was first a fortified roman camp, then a 12th castle of the House of Savoie, then the last link of the Maginot line between France and Italy in the thirties. Far from the crowd and concrete of the Riviera, Sainte Agnes has kept its architecture intact with its narrow lanes, its secret vaults and its close-knit houses. The ruins of the castle are now home to a medieval garden that evokes courteous love.
