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.
