Local Tips
Parking in the village is limited, consider using public transit from nearby Menton. Bring comfortable shoes, as streets are steep and cobbled.

Safety Warnings
The village is very safe, but be cautious walking at night due to limited street lighting and steep paths. Watch for slippery cobblestones during rain.
