Full Description
Châteauneuf-Villevieille is located 22 km (14 mi) north of Nice, its administrative center. It sits on a ledge of the Chaine de Férion mountain, high above the Paillon de Contes river valley and the village of Contes far below. The old village, called Châteauneuf Villaveille, has a pleasant square with the Mairie, school, and a café-restaurant with a raised terrace open the year-round. From the villa, to the south, the ancient, medieval ruins of Castellum novum can be seen. The ruins of the old medieval village sit on the 725m high hill south of the newer village. To the southeast is the village of Tourrettes-Levens. Across the valley to the northeast is the perched village of Berre-des-Alpes.
