Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne

Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne, away from the main axes (16 km from Grasse and 30 km from Cannes), is a preserved village, proudly perched on its cliff, which dominates the wild valley of the Siagne and unfolds its remains planted with olive trees, up to the admirably clear and well-cashed river revealing on its route waterfalls, mills, old bridges, as well as a fauna and flora with sometimes unique species.

This beautiful village offers the tranquility and summer idleness of an authentic Provencal village with its main square decorated with a very beautiful fountain called the Mules, its castle housing the City Hall, its pleasant restaurants with shady terraces and a grandiose panorama of the valley of the Siagne, the Moors and the Estérel. Guided tours allow you to discover its famous Cave, its dolmens and tumulus and to follow the clearly visible traces of its Roman and medieval past.

Renowned for its local products: olive oil, goat cheeses and honey, it is also a place conducive to sports activities; the choice is great between hiking, climbing, caving, mountain biking, horseback riding, bowling, tennis, archery or tree climbing park.

The essentials

Domaine de la grotte de Saint-Cézaire

Discovered in 1890, the cave, descending up to 40 meters underground, was discovered in the late 19th century by a farmer who cleared his field. As you dig more, a chasm appears. Stairs will be set up to open the Saint-Cézaire cave to visitors.

Renowned for its varied concretions with beautiful colors, it has been enriched with a multicolored light waterfall, highlighting the bottom of the abyss.

Notre-Dame de Sardaigne chapel

Dating from the end of the 12th century, the chapel was built by the monks of Lérins, owners at that time of most of the village’s land. It was the parish church until the construction of the current church, consecrated on May 7, 1722.

The architectural ensemble of the chapel of Our Lady of Sardinia listed as a Historical Monument is of rare elegance, with its “cul de four” apse and its “broken cradle” nave. You can see two reliquary busts and a Gallo-Roman sarcophagus.

Les puits de la Vierge

Located below the school, this rare set of nine wells was built from the 15th century and baptized “Well of the Virgin” in 1865, at the time of the construction of the column dedicated to the Virgin. Four of the nine wells are covered with a hemispherical vault and were intended for human consumption. The other five, surrounded by troughs and equipped with hooks in the stone, were intended for animals.
