From the esplanade of the Monastery where you can contemplate Saorge "village in the sky" hanging in ampitheatre from the restanques, enter a world of serenity: the baroque Franciscan convent, with the church and its terraced garden in a green valley.
At the gateway to the Mercantour, the monastery of Saorge overlooks the Roya gorges. A remarkable testimony of Franciscan baroque, the monastery buildings contain exceptional painted decorations. With an orchard and a vegetable garden, surrounded by the green landscapes of the valley, the site enjoys an omnipresent nature, source of serenity.
Guided tours included in the entrance fee at 10.30 am, 2.30 pm, 4 pm.
