Village perché
The village of Peillon, perched on a hilltop in the Paillon Valley, is known to have stairs instead of roads; it is dominated by its Église Saint-Sauveur (Saint Sauveur church), which was last restored in 1980. It is also home to the Chapelle Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs (Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs chapel), which features 15th-century fresco paintings by Giovanni Canavesio.[3]
