Travel Guide Ilonse

A few kilometers from the D57, perched at an altitude of 1,250 meters, this adorable medieval village overlooks the Tinée valley. Be careful, the road is narrow and winding, but your efforts will be rewarded: the village is perfectly preserved with its narrow streets paved in the old style, its stone houses, its porches with ogives, its pontis and its passages under vaults. You would think you were in a medieval mini-museum. Inside the parish church of Saint-Michel, classified wall paintings and carved woodwork. On the D428 in the direction of Pierlas, the col de la Sine, at an altitude of 1,437 m, offers a superb panorama of the mountains.
